Thanks, but not exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking
that debconf-set-selections could be an elegant way of adding
debconf support to FAI if it could be used just after the base
system tarball is unpacked and before package installation.
Followed by a dpkg-reconfigure of course.
It would also be nice if it could load multiple files possibly
answering the same question and be sure that the answers in the
last one loaded take precedence.
I am thinking of writing some patches.
