Could someone try to export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk and try to install something using debconf?

And maybe dpkg -l cdebconf?
From next installer version:



Downside of this: you have to install libgnome2-perl in Deblet which drags in a lot of stuff :P
Upside: Stuff like root password and user info/password gets put in dialog boxes.

EDIT: I've added debconf support to tablet-user package, and a choice to use GTK or Dialog in the installer. GTK is only usable with a keyboard since on screen keyboard sadly doesn't work in chroot.. I've also made root password setting be done with zenity.
