Probably the following things will help: 1. Introductory help information 2. Better default items in the menus. 3. Some menu-items disappear depending on the debconf-priority 4. Some menus don't show to the user but automaticaly select the default menu-item. 5. Something different? 1 is easy to fix. I will work also for 2 and 4 as they are necessary for non-interactive installs. I don't know about 3.

A progress bar is in my wishlist but difficult to implement because any script should be able to dismiss the progress bar at any time and show a debconf question or message.
