If nothing else, the idea for doing a batch interface front end (see the VIM
screen shot) is one which deserves to be emulated.  The "plain text interface"
(upper right) also looks very much like what I'd always envisoned for such
a thing when and if we got around to doing it (I'm thinking text-to-speech
synthesizers and other devices for the visually handicapped).  These
debconf folks have actually provided a pretty good set of interface
prototypes of what we'd like to see with libh.  I doubt we'll ever see a
situation where we could use any of the actual debconf code, but the ideas...
