I agree in principle.
However the simple reality here in Australia is this policy means there 
will only ever be 3 gnumed installations (me, Horst, Richard).
Commerical tech support here is still aggressively pro-Microsoft.
One guy once told me a Telstra (telecom) installation tech actually 
walked out of his office in protest when he saw the computer he was 
connecting to the Internet didn't run Windows.

My main gripe is having to type the password and "yes" 4 times,
even as a DBA I don't see why, a good debian wrapper will fix this of 
course.

Looking further ahead, the Windows and Mac guys will still want a GUI 
wizard-style installer, I'm happy to look after this, however we will 
need to rename boostrap-gm_db_system (even just to 
bootstrap_gm_db_system) so I can import the module.
