Any help is certainly appreciated. The plan basically goes like:

* Make is possible to build the package without the appliance
* Put the appliance on a www server somewhere
* Make the postinst fetch the appliance from a configurable URL
* Add a cron job that checks for new versions of the appliance (security
  updates etc.)
* Ready to go

The principle would basically stay the same even with the changes that
Rich pointed out. Any help on this would certainly be welcome. 
Cheers,
