Uhm? I'm talking about a button like the "Back" button. Are you saying
that cdebconf allows a "Back" button, but not "Help" or "Finish"
buttons?

Sounds great to me! Can't wait till I see it!!

Uhm, "Preferences" does not sound like the name for it, maybe
"Advanced" ?

Any of those could be. Also database server. Almost any server, except
a file server.

Well, it means nothing to me. You could be wishing to have everything
in a separate partition and only one user, or you could be wishing to
have a multi user system in a web server, and thus you might want a much
bigger /var.
I can see how this config IS related to multi-user, but still the name
is more descriptive.
