    Package: debconf
    Version: 1.4.29
    Severity: normal
    File: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure

    My god, you don't allow users to interrupt (^C) or suspend (^Z),
    at least with the curses interface, "whiptail"?
    I'm saying once we start answering questions in those color fullscreen boxes, there is no way to abort, the most one can do is ESC to go to the next page. There is no way to say "I don't think I should be here, can I leave now?"
    There is no way to say "May I have my console back for a moment to check something?"
