The .so system is pretty standard "modular" scheme -- pretty much what
I would consider a UI-centric C or C++ coder would come up with.
Is it just me, or are these guys rewriting the farm? Configuration of
X11, network, "etc" is not something that we really wanna centralize
into our installer and the already overworked install team....
Plus, it's i386 only.
All and all, not really a good match for Debian with the
decentralization of maintainership.

The interface is pretty cute, indeed.
