May be you do not like it, it's not a perfect work, but i'd like all of you to
join wwwconfig-common package on the PTS and work with opal (and me) on a
package that was already built and intended for such a work.
phpGroupWare package already use it, along with a simple but working debconf
interface. After woody release, a debhelper program to install shared debconf
questions will be ready (i'm supposed to do it), and then we can use a common
set of questions.
This seems to me a good starting point: wwwconfig-common has a good base (23
packages).
ciao,
