BTW, in the new init-config script:

# ======================================================================
# Action!
# ======================================================================

csih_enable_color

color is enabled by default. By explicitly (and unconditionally) 
enabling it here, you defeat the purpose of this:

if [ "$PROGDIR" = "/etc/postinstall" ]
then
   csih_auto_answer="no"
   csih_disable_color
fi
if [ -n "${CONFIG_AUTO_ANSWER_NO}" ]
then
   csih_auto_answer="no"
   csih_disable_color
fi

Which means that the setup.log.full file will contain funny characters 
-- IF /etc/postinstall/sysvinit invokes init-config.  This brings up 
another point (which may obviate the previous one):

In the past, /etc/postinstall/sysvinit.sh was a copy of init-config; 
with csih, that's not the way to do it. Instead, the postinstall script 
should execute init-config like this (using the variable name you chose 
above):

export CONFIG_AUTO_ANSWER_NO=1
/usr/bin/init-config


However, the new package doesn't have a post-install script at all. I 
wonder if you shouldn't:

(1) remove the explicit csih_enable_color from init-config
(2) add a postinstall script with the two lines above.
