Have I missed anything? (I must confess I only skimmed the first few layers of the message tree you pointed to as references; from my memory of those discussions, there was little new, and the consensus seemed to have been reached for post-inst prompting). Using debconf is on the TODO list for ucf, and perhaps a rewrite of the current prototype in C for speed later down the line. manoj -- Smear the road with a runner!!
