[SM-Discuss] How to use chrootgen

In bug #10680 I requested that cast be made completely scriptable - that is, 
that it could run without interrupts from start to finish by answering all 
prompts (optional_depends, config_query, init.d/xinetd, install_config_file, 
etc.) on the fly, based on how it's told to react beforehand.

I was told that by Andrew that chrootgen already does this, but I haven't 
found out how that would work. For me it seems chrootgen only does what its 
name implies, installs stuff in chroot. This is not what I'm after.

But prove me wrong. How would I for instance use chrootgen (in a normal 
environment, not in a chroot) to install kdebase so that all optional_depends 
prompts and the init.d script prompt would be answered the way I want to?
