I've been approaching this as a sort-of-integrator point of view (I've been working on systems I've been giving away, and have been developing automation for the installation process that happens after debian-installer, and will be moving that to using debian-installer once I have figured out what I need. The results of this will probably be in lenny+1, but in the meantime I've got a post-install setup that lets me install a 'standard' system, and then run the post-install and end up with what I want) rather than dd point-of-view (because I'm not, et). In any event if there is already a nice summary of what needs doing, and any tips on how to do it, I'm game to work on it for lenny+1. I'd still like to see the debian menu as the main menu for lenny though ... though I may be the only one. -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
