Maybe, it would be easier altogether to have a text based alternative frontend for ubiquity on the live CD, that would simply ask a few questions, maybe with completion wia readline for things like city and language. I do not mean a curses application but more like something "orca -t" does. I looked at the ubiquity source code and it seems one would simply have to implement a "Frontend" class that implements some interfaces, though I am not 100 % sure which ones are required for a minimal frontend. Things like partitioning would have to be done manually before starting ubiquity with this frontend, so it could be really simple.
