Umm, in a sense opengl-update does need interaction - even if it's only 
passing command line parameters to the proggy. env-update is a different 
story; you just run it and it does it's thing. Personally, I would feel that 
opengl-update would be a good candidate to switch to config-. I can't think 
of too many that would fall into the update- class (using the 
"non-interactive" definition), but perhaps things like fixpackages?
