Even if those two happen to be incompatible eventually, we could still
put them on Disc 1 and 2 of the official set in Woody+1, no?
AFAIK SuSE does this already: They have their graphical installer on the
first CD, but if you have problems with it, you can try the text-based
installer from CD 2 (Don't know if they still do this though)
It sure is very nice to have these powerful Progeny tools like
autoinstall and piggy in Debian Main now.
