The configuration management proposal addresses this. All questioning is
done _before_ packages are installed. (We may even manage to detach the
questions so they can be downloaded first and then you could answer
questions while downloading the rest of the package!)
I suggest you read the proposal. http://www.debian.org/~wakkerma/config6/
This was all hashed out on the lists about 9 months ago. I think the current
spec meets all the needs people brough up then.
