Almost. The current tool set have those features. I suspect debconf with appropriately implemented packages can be used (ie using yet to be written tools to "fake" the interactively by admins part) to do this. Debconf have support for replacing both the frontend/gui and backend/database, and I suspect this might be used for automated reconfiguration of packages. But I am not sure, and have never seen this done. This is the background for my suggestion to prefer .d setup or multilevel setup, which I know work. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
