I wonder why I even thought of making the debconf-stage do something besides modifying configuration settings. Hmm, perhaps with a good backend debconf could modify the overrides directly, that would be kind of sweet. > Anyhow, sounds very nice. Will it be part of the dpkg package? Already is in CVS. As soon as potato is released I'll unleash dpkg 1.7.0 with this and some other new features. In the meantime I'm already running it on a couple of my machines and it works very well there.
