IMO no. First problem is it breaks backward compatibility without any good 
reason. Second problem is that in my opinion it is *very* user friendly if you 
get some kind of wizard guiding you through the installation.
I see grml-debootstrap not as a non interactive program but more as a 
interactive program with additional commandline interface, like for example 
mutt.

run grml-debootstrap interactive mode only if requested (from config or
--interactive on the command line). 

So, when running grml-debootstrap without any parameter, it will just show usage
then exit. I know it breaks previous behaviour, but I think it is more
user-friendly (to command line people) and is more "standard" approach. 

what do you say?
