IMHO, it would be a very good idea (see my thread on "webmin", since the 
upstream author did not reply at all, I'll probably have to cancel my intent 
to package).

The tools which exist:

- webmin <http://www.webmin.com/webmin/> is technically the best but horribly 
non-free,

- pingOO <http://www.linuxedu.org/> is already Debian-based but not even 
distributed gratis,

- linuxconf seems an awful monster,

- pppconnector only deals with routing, not with system administration.
