Several packages provide app-defaults for colour and for monochrome
displays. Often this holds the whole installation process because
the user has to choose one. I don't know if hitting Enter would
be sufficient or if some postinst scripts depend on pressing 'c'
or 'm'.
I wonder if it would be possible that all these questions may be
reduced to _one_ by touching either /etc/X11/app-defaults.colour
or /etc/X11/app-defaults.monochrome when the user has choosen
one of the two.
Another solution would be to install both
/var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/Xftp.colour and
/var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/Xftp.mono and provide
/var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/Xftp as link to one of those
so the user can *easily* choose one of them. Btw. XSysinfo
already does this.
