Well, using debconf is packaging. It requires one of the following from
the yaird tool itself:

 1) options to allow overriding the default automated resolving

 2) more finegrained configuration

For the second to work with debconf it also requires writing packaging
script that interacts with the configuration file format (read:
packaging scripts written in perl so that the perl config parser can
be used) or the config format changed to the simpler line-based one
used with most shell-based scripts (the format mandated
for /etc/default/* scripts in Debian).


Sure interesting, but not simple to implement.
