LTS server package selection
Since Lucid is LTS, a critical review of the current contents of the server CD is necessary, both to free some space on the CD and to reduce the number of packages we'll be maintaining for 5 years. Some packages are not necessary and might be abandoned. Some packages are brought up in main by recommends while they should just be suggested. Some very useful packages are missing and should be added !

zulcss 2009-12-15: *autofs investigation* I spent some time looking at this yesterday, it seems to be originally two branches stable (autofs4) and experimental (autofs5). Both autofs4 and autof5 seem to be feature complete but autofs seems to support more features (ie direct map). Also autofs5 seems to be updated a bit more (http://
