Okay, so we just ignore this case, especially since you are right about 
the device claiming.

I think that would be best left to a common package -- probably one 
question per card type (low priority), plus one for the default for new 
cards (medium? high?) that are added without a reconfigure. By default, 
we only ask for the cards we actually find, but allow preseeding for all 
of them.

Right now, we need three choices (i4l, mISDN, zaptel), ideally I'd leave 
this pluggable so the -common package doesn't need that much knowledge 
about any of the alternatives.
