Looks like there's karmic packages here:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-389-directory-server

We've stabilized LTSP a goodly amount, managed to get edubuntu back on a dvd,
and we've got a functioning Sabayon now that can actually be used.

Edubuntu's sort of leaning towards making "offical" releases in sync with the
LTS releases, with the intervening releases being "test" releases.  I'm
thinking getting a half decent LDAP/Kerberos authentication stack for 12.04
probably is a realistic goal.  It'll give us two years to what'll probably be a
fairly large uphill battle.
