Which are good? Which are bad? A good gui does say "Version mismatch,
continue?" and continues. Or better checks the -help output for a
feature list.
A stupid GUI breaks on every simple change. And I am sick of fixing
stuff for naive assumptions of others.

So, your "solution" is to ask "Should I break your system now or after
the next reboot?". Debconf is not an alternative to fixing the
problem. Such questions are still unacceptable bugs.
