The FAQ-o-Matic is sort of a support database. It is organised like a FAQ.
However, you have to be online to query it and submit your entries. Maybe
someone could hack a perl script to respond to mail queries (should be easy
to do). OTOH, it could be packaged as a whole.

This is something for the Bug Tracking System. The FAQ-o-Matic is more for
user questions like configuration etc. See www.debian.org/cgi-bin/fom.
