NO!

Don't use debconf in 
	- init-script
	- in the Program itself
	
Debian is not a MS-W***, it is a UNIX. And I configure my system with
the vi[m] and not with dpkg-reconfig !

Ask with debconf, write a config-file and ask this config-file. 


( SuSe has a lot of "Don't edit this file, use rc.conf" in /etc/, this
is not nice. Don't start this in Debian. please)
