+Profiles:
+ * Tweak XScreenSaver to enable only unicode-screensaver by default,
+ and append "-background black -foreground white"

+ wiping not interrupted
+ * Create new package for strong Debian branding with rebranding hooks
+ * what about addressbooks?
+ * Include gpa?

+
+Profiles, for Jessie and newer:
+ * install xul-ext-y-u-no-validate
+ * Update lists of locale-specific packages, adding ones for Iceowl
+ * Update media profile to drop ESounD support
+ * Update media profile to include mpv (and exclude mplayer2)
+
+Deployment:
+ * test that auto-updating security fixes actually works
+ * simple mailinglist subscription
+ * Create new package for strong Debian branding with rebranding hooks
+ * what about addressbooks? Just use gpa?
+ * Document maintenance (passwords change, crypto key revocation, etc.)
+ * Document simple backup routines (using e.g. 2GB USB stick)
+ * Document host rename (and LVM volume too, if safe when encrypted)
+ * Document use of certificate-based wifi authentication
+ * Document workaround to ugly hostname:
+ * When standing on menu option "auto" hit TAB (not ENTER), delete
+ "priority=critical", and hit ENTER.
+
+Deployment, for Lenovo Edge E145:
+ * Use unofficial firmware installer (to simplify post-install tuning)
+ * Document laptop preparation for smoothest possible user install:
+ * Disable secure boot
+ * use only legacy BIOS mode (avoid UEFI)
+ * enable usb boot support
+ * disable Wake On LAN
+ * disable LAN Option ROM
+ * Exclude any boot devices but internal disk and USB HDD
+ * Delete any existing UEFI boot devices
+ * boot from usb (via F12), install past disk erasure, switch off
+ * Document post-install tuning:
+ * sudo aptitude install firmware-linux firmware-realtek broadcom-sta-dkms
+
+Bugs (report to Debian and track here until fixed in stable):
+ * Lots of core packages should be apt-mark'ed as auto-installed
+ * root shell should use use skel files (with "dmesg n" added?)
+ * documented use of TAB at install screen unusable with UEFI
+ * documented use of "d-i partman-auto/method string crypto" is ignored
+ (or maybe just needs _all_ vars included, from uninterrupted wipe)
+ * task-xfce-desktop should recommend xfce4-session (not xfce4)
+ - or xfce4 should only recommend (not depend on) packages like orage
