And this can be put in a udev rule, ok, fine. So let's write yet another
debconf front-end??

The problem is that it would not only solve the problem only for debian,
but that new front-end would also probably be only developped and tested
by blind people, i.e. very _few_ people, compared to the whole debian
community, hence foresee bugs & such. And I wonder how many blind people
will really want to understand how debconf works etc.

The current approach --i.e. brltty reads everything that runs on the
system-- is just fine: programmers write their applications, and only
very few blind people are needed for maintaining brltty.

What you are proposing (rewriting things for blind users) really isn't
the good way: these rewritten programs would just act as ghettos for
blind users.
