Hopfully not too many simplifying assumptions will be needed in order to come up and identify a nice solution. In this realm of things there seem to be a couple of ideas involved that would need to be covered: Shared foundation for Config Tools/Frontends Config File Upgrades Installers Preconfigureing Packages Debconf vs. dcontrol/CFG relationship (See also on [1]) Regards, Christian [1] http://freedesktop.org/Software/CFG
