Installation of *-mmx and *-i686 packages could be mostly
automated. Processor feature and kernel virtual packages could
make life a lot easier, maybe using them in Build-Depends would
be an interesting thing too.
Dependencies on Sound cards and such don't seem reasonable, even
though it would be appealing to have debian-installer figure out
what hardware you have, install all the utilities you need and
basic applications you most probably want to use (ie sound card
-> mixer, sound daemon, sox | alsa-utils).

The game was soon followed up by a round of "Alphabet Implementation" where
each employee took turns suggesting a different language, tool, methodology, or
approach to a new business requirement, vehemently disapproving of all other
ideas. This game awards double points for using an acronymn unknown by the rest
of the group, but imposes heavy penalties on making one up.
