Having never used it I can't definitively comment, but it sounds like a
beast from your description. Files everywhere? Yuck.
I use a script which I wrote which uses a config file to find out what to do
and which sets up all the appropriate things I want. Never had any
problems, I just install the .deb I made for it, (no debconf yet), edit the
config file, and off it goes. And I install a lot of firewalls.
