A scripted installation is indeed doable (I did it myself:
http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/bristuff/1.4) - I had enough
iterations to improve it and enough pressure to make it usable.

But what happens after you install it? How do you follow up with newer
versions?

E.g. many people still have an ancient version of mpg123 installed. With
many known security holes. This is because at the time it was the "black
magic working and recommended" version for getting music-on-hold to
work. mpg123 has moved on. But it is still installed on many systems.
