I dunno. The format cdebconf uses now is not flexible enough for my
needs, and also encompasses stuff debconf will not configure through
that file.
The format I posted a demo of was designed to be trivial to parse
extensively -- my parser basically creates one object for each stanza;
the fields in the stanza correspond to the fields in the objects, and
everything just works.
