Removal of sysinstall from HEAD and lack of a post-install configuration tool

The story so far ...

sysinstall was removed from HEAD in October. I (and others) objected on
the basis that at this time there is no replacement for the post-install
configuration role that sysinstall played. More sysinstall components
were then removed. Then the old version of libdialog (which sysinstall
used) was removed. Thus at this point it's not possible to easily
restore sysinstall.

So my question is, how much do you care? Is lack of that functionality
in HEAD something that we care about?
