Interesting read. Especially the detailed list of apps and their
password mechanisms.
But I wonder: Is it relevant to us?
As I see it, we are using Debian, which already does pre-seeding, and
"post-seeding" too.
With "post-install" I mean that if we choose to dump a generic premade
install into the SheevaPlug internal storage, we can ensure the password
questions of each package is not flagged as "seen" in debconf and have
the initial boot trigger a dpkg-reconfigure - obviously wrapped somehow,
e.g. by a web UI.
I suspect that if your link is relevant, it is because of thinking in
terms of "working on top of Debian" instead of working *with* Debian.
...or did I miss your point?
