Hmm, ok. So the role specific code would be pre-loaded into Anaconda
and Cockpit somehow, and publishing a new role in a repository needs an
update to both Anaconda and Cockpit?
Yes, I think that's the case. We need role specific UI code. This is
exactly the sort of thing we're building Cockpit module support for.
I really don't think we should try and reinvent debconf prompts.
