Would not that then require some attempt to follow ubuntu/debian's  
file system rules? (ie, make it definitely different to all other Kohas)
I suppose that's only the case if it wanted to get into the  
distribution. If it didn't need to comply to the FS rules then that  
would definitely be something to look into doing.

Would the brave volunteer need also to find/make debianised/ubuntuised  
perl packages for the perl bits that still need installing by hand?
or would it be possible to script in the installation through the perl  
shell?

Mostly just thinking here. Haven't tried anything like this and  
unlikely to get the time soon to learn how to do it.
