A first time user of d-i told me that it was confusing when something
went wrong with the installation. The error messages did not visually
stand out from the normal question and information dialogs.
I suggest adding a way to indicate if the user interaction is
information only, a warning, or an error situation.
We chould add 'ERROR:', 'Warning:' and 'Info:' to the title, or
perhaps use different colors or icons to indicate this.
Asking about the language and reporting that kernel-installer failed
should be visually different to make sure the user know he should take
the latter dialog more serious.
I believe this is an important usability issue for d-i.

The error template type was added in in version 0.44, and the
background color in the newt frontend is read, making it visually
stand out from the other questions. This problem is solved.
