After reading your answers and more thoughts about it, I really think
that it would be a nice improvement to get. :)
I would probably like to see discover-pkginstall ran after a debconf
question at medium priority, defaulting to true, so it could easily be
deactivated at the expert level.
Do you feel like hacking d-i to propose a first implementation of your
proposal?
On thing might be tricky though: if we want correct feedback while
building a module, module-assistant will probably need to be modified to
use debconf instead of DIY dialog screens.
And finally, I see important cases where discover would want to install
packages in contrib or non-free (see my previous questions), so we
probably would need to raise the priority of the
apt-setup/{contrib,non-free} questions to medium or high when such
hardware is found.
