So did I. But two days ago, I ran an install on VmWare with only the
base system and a few PCMCIA debconf questions appeared.
I'll start another one again and I will tell you when exactly did the
questions appear.

I do also think it's not needed. Rather than removing the questions,
lowering their priority to medium could however be a conservative
measure.
As default installs are done at high priority, the pcmcia-cs screens
would then disappear. If they have rock solid defaults, that shouldn't
be a problem.
This is not a very invasive change, so it can IMHO be done before
sarge release.

The problem mostly lies with projects using Subversion. Other projects
with lower activity may quite well rely on Alioth.
