Actually, debconf uses a variation on the prposed API, that makes text just
be a variety of ui element, like a boolean element or a string element. So
there is no text command per se. (And so text does get a priority). You can
read the modified debconf api in /usr/doc/debconf/spec/ (I just modified 2
of the web pages)

Wichert's been really slow commenting on this, but it makes a lot more sense.
