True, but that doesn't mean that it can't be used as the UI to
configuration tools that aren't run at install time. This is even
mentioned in the debconf tutorial. There are distinct advantages in
having this sort of uniformity within the distribution. Just because no
one else has done it yet doesn't mean that it's not a good idea.
