Ahh, OK. But does it make any sense to have in inside a package
targeting at amd64 or i386 depending where you build the initial
package? IMHO not, because if you build the initial package for amd64
only the tarball for amd64 is usable (and so for i386). So I'm not yet
convinced that both tarballs should be in one binary for a specific
architecture.

I'd consider this as an interesting feature for the *final* packaging.
However, IMHO it does not make much sense in the initial package which
has the only purpose of buutstrapping which will be done by root anyway.

Hah, more work for the student, cool. Luis, what about your todo list.

My idea was to keep things simple for the initial package which is used
only once for bootstrapping by root. I will not force Luis to remove
this stuff but may be it is simpler to move the debconf stuff straigt to
the future packaging of the final package?
Kind regards and thanks for your explanation
Andreas.
