This is only one significant thing that I hope can be solved with the work
starting on the layered "dcontrol" configuration handling system considering
to use Config4GNU[1] concepts under the hood (frontends).
Hopfully not too many simplifying assumptions will be needed in order to come
up and identify a nice solution.
In this realm of things there seem to be a couple of ideas involved that would
need to be covered:
Shared foundation for Config Tools/Frontends
Config File Upgrades
Installers
Preconfigureing Packages
Debconf vs. dcontrol/CFG relationship
