Well, now I'd like to ask you, why don't you try to improve debconf
if you think it lacks some features for now?  You admit "the concept of 
debconf is ideal", don't you?

Or have you ever explained your idea at devel@org or somewhere else?  
Or did you just tell Joey the reason why you think debconf sucks?
Did you send wish-list for debconf to BTS?

Why are you guys afraid to communicate with other people?  I don't understand.

And one more question, why didn't you propose your plan long before?
You seem to have uploaded it suddenly the day before the freeze(I mean, yesterday).  
I doubt that you uploaded it before your ITP.  Is it fair?

noka> 2. debwrap may have some value for a while at least til
noka>    debconf to be completely implemented and adopted.

I beg to differ with ya.  Generally speaking, badly-designed ad-hoc 
solution is always the cause of the trouble in the future, as you know.

So please try to improve debconf if you think it's promising, or 
just explain *more precisely* why you think debconf is not as good as 
your debwrap.  It may be more productive than another flame war. 

noka> Only just the above. Understand?

Again, watch your mouth.  Do discussion, not hysterical scream.  
Got it?

Regards,
