There already is a subgroup within the boot-floppies team, led by Joey
Hess, to replace the current, hacked up, 5-year-old installation
system with new shiny modular installation system based on
micro-packages (udpkg) and debconf "technology".
I am not directly involved in that -- I sugggest you read the design
documention (ask on debian-boot where it is if you don't know) and the
mail list archives for the last 60 days.
I am only involved in Potato maintenance and I can guarantee we won't
be adding radical chnages such as umsdos and reiserfs.
