Hi,

A couple of comments/questions.

1) Are the LEBs themselves going to have EULAs?

2) What about EULAs for things in hwpacks. I guess we want to treat them
the same?

3) We probably want a whitelist here as you suggest, as re-using the
whole debconf configuration would probably lead to many problems.

Thanks,

James
