| 1)  Is it important that I maintain compatibility with the existing
|     command-line interface?  I'd much rather use one which is a bit more
|     user-friendly.  However, if there are a largish number of scripts
|     that are depending on the existing command-line interface, I'd like
|     to know that.

Not for me, at least

| 2)  Once this code is finished, will Debian be willing to use this
|     codebase to replace the existing pwgen package?

I hope so.

| 4)  Are there any other requirements/features you'd like to see in a
|     program like pwgen?

Make it possible for it to print the password in hashed form as well.
Preferably both MD5 and old style crypt. :)
