Success in using cdebconf alone to bootstrap VMs
Dear debconf and cdebconf maintainers,
you probably have seen the bugs reports [1] and the MRs [2,3] that I
recently opened related to the creation and the use of `debconf-common`.
With these changes [4,5,6] applied (and a few unrelated changes) I have
been able to mmdebootstrap a number of VMs in which classic debconf is
not used at all, neither at installation time nor afterward.
I'm confident that a debconf-free unstable for base systems could be
achieved before the freeze with little effort.
