We need one of these for .debs. The answer files are easy to generate after installing once but it would be better to have an HTML ui that catered for every annoying .deb that can't think up sensible defaults for itself.

For Debian it's trivial to do so. `debconf-set-selections` is your friend, if you want something for unattended installations you can embed that into `live-boot` or into FAI.
