>Description:
I just did a portupgrade. The build process was several times
interrupted by an ASCII GUI that asked me about preferences.
I see 2 problems with this:

1. the build process is supposed to run without interrupts for console
input;
2. the questions referred to some packets that were automatically
installed through dependencies. I had no idea what to answer.

To summarize, I would definetly prefer some meaningful defaults. When
one needs specialized builds, he can and should look in the package
files.
