Just a few notes:
  - LOCAL_APPS=True should already be the default in Ubuntu (so you 
shouldn't have to set it)
  - If you set LOCAL_APPS_MENU = True and don't set 
LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS then all the available localapps will be exported. 
That may be easier in some cases (where you don't want whitelisting of 
localapps)
  - Is there any reason to force DNS_SERVER and SEARCH_DOMAIN ? These 
two should be set using the DHCP, if not please file a bug.

Thanks for the howto.
