I got a few responses to my call for suggestions and have done some
reviewing of my own.  Someone pointed me to a Gentoo rescue CD which
I've been looking through, and I've added some stuff off my own bat.

Here's my diff so far.  I only removed two things: qemacs-nox (in
favour of emacs22-nox) and posh (which seemed pointless) ?

I haven't quite finished - I'll probably come up with more additions
later.  Also, I HAVEN'T TESTED THIS AT ALL.

Assumptions I have made:
  * It is OK to install a package which diverts something
  * Everything in Required or better is already included

Tollef Fog Heen said (and I think I agree) that many of the reactive
firewall tools like fail2ban are not useful.  Do you agree ?  If so
I'll look through and delete some of them too.

I trust that the default builds will be with non-free turned off ?
After all of users want Ubuntu they know where to get it ...

Ian.
