May be i misunderstood.

When you said: 

"The prototype demonstrates my thoughts on which questions should be
asked.
The inputs to the backend are:

- Mount points
- Time zone
- Keymap (pending LiveCDPrompts conclusions; I think this should be
removed
  now and the live CD selection used)
- username
- password
- full name
- hostname"

I wrongly identified 'inputs to the backend' with 'questions to be
answered by the user'.

Thanks for your attention.
