Groovy. I've started a wizard-style program for quickly upgrading

easily -- upgrading all of tetex every week is a bit harsh on a dialup

Debconf allows multiple backends for the actual configuration, right?
Surely a new backend which is implemented using GNOME Druids or
something could be created, which is selected when ApplicationManger
starts installing packages and reverts back to the system defauly when
it finishes.
