Currently most don't ask any questions, but they have the ability to do that. In answering the questions prompted by the post install scripts, you're walking through the tutorial that the developer (or packager :) put together. There is a whole (mostly invisible) hierarchy of levels of prompting built into the package system today. So, my point still stands. If you have a package that "doesn't work out of the box", that's a likely candidate for a bug report. Just in case my meaning isn't clear. I'm not disagreeing with your assessment or commenting on your skill level. I'm attempting to point your frustration at the mechanisms in place already to leverage your input and benefit from them. Ultimately bug number 1 still needs to be closed.
