That would certainly suffice.

I think that would be fine from an ethical point of view.

But in Debian we already have established mechanisms for the
configuration of software, and it would be good to be able to use
those.

So rather than writing code in meshlab to put up a dialogue, I would
suggest code in meshlab to read a configuration file or two.  The
Debian maintainers would arrange for these files to contain the right
answers, according to the questions asked of the system administrator
and/or user.
