IIRC the reason we have a deprecation warning in cdebconf about TITLE is because we wanted to catch titles that were not localised in d-i. But it is possible to use TITLE outside d-i and localise it -- as debconf does, for example. To make passthrough use SETTITLE we'd have to make it create a fake template or pretend there was one for subsequent DATA commands. This seems overly-complicated. Maybe just remove the deprecation warning in cdebconf? -- see shy jo
