[packagekit] Debconf on pk-glib2

[Daniel Nicoletti]

Richard these steps allow debconf to work:

- before: install/remove/update/update-system

1 - Create a socket file in /tmp, named as you want ( I suggest something like 
/tmp/gpk-debconf-TID )
2 - Start listening for connections in it
3 - setHints('socket=/tmp/gpk-debconf-TID')
4 - start your transaction

now when a debconf want's to show something it will open a new connection,
when this happen:
1 - setenv DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome
2 - start the debconf-communicate process in a way where you can read/write
     to this process.
3 - install a watcher in the new socket connection and when there is data to 
read
     you will read and write on the debconf-communicate process, also install a 
watcher
     on the debconf-communicate process so when there is data to read you read 
and
     write it back to the socket connection.
4 - When the connection is closed don't forget to close the debconf-comunicate 
process
     but don't delete the socket or stops reading it before the transaction 
finishes since
     each package opens a new connection.

I think that's all you will need,
poke me if it doesn't work so I can test or help debugging.
