Incidentally, I have debconfized the following:
magicfilter
postfix
base-passwd
libpaperg
libpaper
I did the first three about a month ago and sent the patches to the
maintainers. None have yet integrated it. The last one I did just
recently and sent in the patch, but

What is with lynx? Lynx is standard and _depends_ on debconf. I would
