Hmm, I might file a bug against that. Interactive installation realy
sucks and it will bann lsdoom from my demo-fs packages as a possible
game to include. Patching it back to noninteractive is work. :(
If you have two binaries, make the svga setuid by default. Noone will
install it to not let the users use it.
In the case of gnuplot, there is only one binary, so you don´t have
the choise at the package level, so it must ask.
May the Source be with you.
