yes... well, the possibility i thought was to port Gosa^2 to this  
project... but...
i need indications... is there a repository? a toolchain?

some friends (reading this list) are making modifications to packages  
in Debian ETCH using debconf... probably that's the only way of  
working on that stuff

let me know,
any idea? others?
