Hmmm. This sounds a little like the debconf program some of us have been
working on. There's a specification at
http://www.debian.org/~wakkerma/config6
and an anonymous CVS archive described at, erm,
http://www.kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/_index.html
. It's at the point where it demo-able, but I wouldn't recommend plugging
a scanner into it, so to speak. There are line, ncurses (dialog), gtk
and web based frontends atm.
Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
