What do you mean, you don't know if this is a great idea? It's an amazing
idea! It'd provide a painless way to manage a set of identical Debian
boxes. I'm sure the sysadmin of my EE dept. (where I'm finishing up
installed Debian on 20 Pentiums) will drool at the mere thought of
it.
I want it I want it...

attemtping to source the file or otherwise access it without going through
cfgtool. :-)
