if i run: cdebconf -o debian ethdetect , it works
but ethdetect is executable
so in ethdetect, i need an interpreter something like this:
#!/usr/bin/debconf -o debian /bin/sh
instead of
#!/bin/sh
but it does not work
do you have a solution?
   

Maybe you should explain what you want to do.  

plip needs several modules configuration (plip and partport_pc)
if i just use ethdetect/module_params question, for the 2 modules,
after configuring the first module, cdebconf will take the same for the 
second because it has already be seen.
Or it is false
Another point is if i select high property for the second module, 
cdebconf will show me the module_params question but with by the 
parameters of the first one.
example, i have configured parport_pc: io=0x378 irq=7
i will have in plip module question plip: io=0x378 irq=7
but plip can only have parport=X options
so if the user must have a blank field for plip options

So i have to create different questions using the same template and the 
solution is db_register


Why is this 'Unknown'
value a problem? 

because if we want to create a preconfigured d-i for automatic 
installation, we will just have to add in questions.dat
Name: ethdetect/module_params/parport_pc
Template: ethdetect/module_params
Value:  io=0x378 irq=7


This can be easily fixed within rootskel 

how do you do that?
create an specific template for all modules?, if think it's ugly
so what is the use of register?
(and IMO
d-i is more appropriate than debian), 

i prefer 'd-i' too but all questions have 'debian' owner so....


but is this all you want?

 

yes, i think
does 'confmodule -o debian'  work ?
because i see that frontend is a link to debconf
