I want interactive installation, where it makes sense. A package
asking me to have xxx setuid or to have it useless doesn´t make sense
in my eyes. No admin will install a program just so that root can use
it.
With debconf you can disable interactive installaztion, but not on a
per package basis and that wouldn´t make sense.
In my eyes instaling svgalib at all shows that one wants to have
programs and users use it, so any further question is anoying.
May the Source be with you.
