Sounds nice, and I believed that by myself a while ago, until reality
proved me wrong. ;-)
Debian and Skolelinux differ a lot in their preconfiguration and
especially LDAP. So, we do need packages that are specific to Skolelinux
once it concerns user and system administration via LDAP.

Jonas has packages CipUX (most parts) for Debian, they are in unstable,
so they are actually more "squeeze" than "Lenny" and therefore not
working too well with the current stable Skolelinux version.
But he also creates packages for Skolelinux/Lenny occasionally, just
probably not following the precedure Jürgen and Philipp mentioned.
Jonas, are you there and can comment on this?

So, you are saying, since CipUX is in Debian, it will be present as
installation option for Skolelinux in the next release, yes? Now this is
a different statement than what Jürgen and Philipp said before.

Actually, we have an "unofficial" package on rp.skolelinux.de, but since
it build-depends on stuff not packaged in Debian yet, it's complicated.
Also, there are still a few problems with preconfiguration so that it
starts out-of-the-box on Skolelinux, which need to be adressed. Martin
wrote about that. Want to help? :-)
