Re: package and dpkg improvements to help autoinstallers

| FAI has been invaluable to us at IMA, when it runs right.  The biggest
| stumbling blocks we see are issues with package.{pre,post}{inst,rm}
| scripts that don't understand the idea of "noninteractive"
| installation.  The whole update-ispell-dictionary or apacheconfig
| debacle can be avoided, but only through use of dpkg-divert.

fwiw, update-ispell-dictionary now respects the
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=Noninteractive.
