It seems to be. There are a number of packages that ask questions during 
the configuration phase of the install. The packaging environment has a 
library for displaying dialogs (which I believe will automatically 
display as text or GUI, depending on the running context).

Excellent. I haven't built a package before, but I've been using Debian 
for 2 or 3 years, and am fairly familiar with what goes into them and 
have debugged postconf scripts.

So I'm happy to pitch in on building a package as well as ongoing 
maintenance. I would just rather not be the sole maintainer.

OK. Feel free to send me a note off list when you're ready to start 
working on it.
