i understand the desire to caution users away from installing packages that could very easily brick their phone if something unforeseen goes wrong. thats what warnings are for.
that doesnt mean its ok to forcibly require user intervention during a deb install, ever. ESPECIALLY when you require an x server and dbus session...
it makes it impossible to install as part of an automated restore script, without seriously going out of your way {e.g.: temporarily replacing the callable binary with a script that just cats the file passed in and exits with 0}.
i personally just remove the preinst because i know im on an n9 and i know i want to install the package, but it would be nice if you wouldnt put installation guis in deb files in the first place.
