It's blue, what colour should it be?

This would remove upstream's branding which is something upstream
don't want us to do (understandably).  KDE provides a space for distro
logo in the kickoff menu which we use.

This is quite time consuming because it requires a lot of QA, and
doesn't provide much benefit because the packags are already available
in a PPA.  But Scott has said he wants to do it.

Upstream aren't keen on this, I think because it might slow it down
and take up disk space.  But I would prefer it.  I'll see if I can
turn it on for the next alpha.

Our CDs are currently oversized so we can't add anything more to them.

kaffeine doesn't use Phonon so features such as USB headphones don't
work.  vlc has a very confusing UI.

The installer uses debian-installer which talks to debconf and that
limits the speed between pages.

Neither of these packages exist in natty

I'm not sure what you mean here, can you explain what the "dolphin
installer menu" is?

Thanks for the suggestions.
