Installing Debian-edu-config will not lead to a lot of configuration
beeing modified. If so, there is a bug.
Running base-config, will lead to some modification (maybe most, I dont
remember). running cfengine-debian-edu will also lead to a lot of files
beeing changed.

I think Jonas also cares about upgrading, and upgrading an old
installation and then running base-config could lead to unforeen results.

Until every package is preconfigurable, I think this is something we
need, yes.
