Packages for gui-installer



Hi,

A bunch of packages are now ready for the GUI installer; most are udeb
additions to existing packages, and have the same source package, but
some (specifically gtk+-directfb-udeb) are new. Do people think they
should be uploaded anywhere in particular, or just into the main
archive?

Secondly, looking at the gtk installer home page
	http://www.mmweg.rwth-aachen.de/~sebastian.ley/d-i/
a decision needs to be made as to how we start the GUI installer.

My preference is as follows:
CDROM boots, into newt/slang/etc installer.
CDROM (mostly) autodetected, and additional modules loaded, if possible.
If priority = low, then "Use Graphical installer" appears on menu; if
chosen, magic happens.
If priority = medium, it happens automatically without appearing on
menu.

ie. minimal questions, clean in most cases, with the ability for the
user to stop it happening by selecting priority=low on the text install
menu.

Any comments, or better ideas?
