That's definitely on the long-term goals list. The "blind insane designer" approach we have going on now is not the desired end goal, it's just a quick stopgap (and kind of funny) while more coherent things are cobbled together.

I do plan on retaining the random/random as an option, however. Sometimes you really want a dungeon designed by an insane Elder Thing and dug out by a Minotaur work crew.
