I fell into that trap too ... the Roxen configurator (browser-based) 
gives you no hint that configuration can also be done (much more easily 
and reliably and quickly, but that's beside the point) by editing 
ordinary text files. 

I suggest ("wish") the roxen debian post-installation script would give
the user a clue about that, rather that just instructing how to start the
configurator, and that the upstream web-based configurator would advise 
the user that there is another way.
