I think I addressed this as one of the cases in my previous mail: the LDAP
situation is quite different from the others, as it's needed in order for
ebox to function.  This means that it needs to be handled non-interactively
and deterministically.

On the other hand, for cases where ebox is configuring something else (like
ntpd or dhcp), it can interact with the user and allow them to resolve the
conflict.
