It might have been mentined before, and I understand dropping in complete
config files might be a reasonable temporary workaround.
Looking for potential solutions, a concept simmilar to CFG's outlined on [1]
might yield good benefits for debian and CDDs in particular.
Wether CFG, XML, d-bus, perl, python etc. is not the issue. The ideas to
modularize the configuration management extending on debconf are worthwhile
consideration I think.
