quite a lot of packages are waiting for user input, when the gnome
frontend to debconf is avaible is seems to use it, that's great...

I ran into a "little" problem anyway, I have apt-listbugs installed,
it was waiting for my ack to start the install, would be nice if the
terminal could appear automagically in this case or if apt-listbugs
could be adapted to popup a dialog window...

exept this, very nice work, worked like a charm. It made me try
synaptic again and it's really getting great :))
