Those are the only two that are not in Debian now.

Ah your talking about the packages that actually are in Debian sarge,
but in a state were we cant use them, like the lessdisks-packages and
the likes. Yes, Some package maintainers are just to lazy to get their
work done.

The apt source that is used besides "official debian sarge", is
http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux sarge local
>From this, the folowing packages are included:
Newer autopartkit than the one in rc3 (dont remember why)
autopartkit_1.08_i386.udeb
Newer debian-edu-install than the one in sarge, we have to have
progress
debian-edu-install_0.646+svn3411_all.deb
debian-edu-profile-udeb_0.646+svn3411_all.udeb
debian-edu-install-udeb_0.646+svn3411_all.udeb
Newer debian-edu-config, for the same reason as d-e-install
debian-edu-config_0.397+svn3410_all.deb
Newer debian-edu, same reason as above
education-laptop_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-desktop-kde_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-standalone_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-workstation_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-thin-client-server_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-common_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-networked_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-tasks_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
education-main-server_0.803+svn3327_i386.deb
We need a working java runtime on the installation, and are allowed to
include this version on the cd by Sun
j2re1.4_1.4.2_05-0.skolelinux.2_i386.deb
Some lessdisks-packages. We need to have this preseedable, which was
made possible in 0.6.1 (I think). Sarge have 0.5.3?
initrd-netboot-tools_0.6.2c_all.deb
kernel-image-netbootable_0.6.2c_all.deb
lessdisks-terminal_0.6.2c_all.deb
lessdisks-common_0.6.2c_all.deb
lessdisks-easydialog_0.6.2c_all.deb
lessdisks_0.6.2c_all.deb
LTSP is not included in debian, I guess the future will tell if they
ever will be included
ltsp-x-xserver-svga-3.3.6-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-x-xserver-s3-s3v-3.3.6-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-x-xserver-mach64-3.3.6-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-core-i386_4.1-1_all.deb
ltsp-kernel-2.4.26-edu-i386_4.1-2_all.deb
ltsp-localdev-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-modules-2.4.26-i386_4.1-2_all.deb
ltsp-sound-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-x-core-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
ltsp-x-xserver-mach32-3.3.6-i386_4.1-0_all.deb
The rest of the packages is fetched from debian local mirror on developer.

Yes - there is one source package whos binaries are included on the CD.
I guess we cant do anything with the current maintainer of those
packages, as he is clearly occupied with other things than keeping up
with upstream.
