Hi, as   I'm involved in the   AGNULA/DeMuDi project [0], I  find this
thread  *really* interesting. 

DeMuDi  is hopefully  going to  merge  with Debian Multimedia, and the
Debian Edu/Skolelinux experience  is  a very valuable example  to look
at. 

I'm now following the discussion on CDD very closely, and I think that
the issue  of having specialized Debian based  "distros"  which do not
fork is becoming very important for the success of Debian.

Andrea, I've  read the  "draft" documentation  you  wrote, and I think
it's a  really  good starting point,   please keep on  it!  Discussing
together about the details of such document is of course a good way to
refine it.

As far as DeMuDi is concerned  we were ending  up independently to the
same debconf  pre-seeding approach you are discussing  here, and I was
really glad to come   to know that the   issue was not regarding  only
us. For our porpoises such strategy combined with tools like dpsyco or
cfenging would be ideal.

bye,

free
