Edubuntu can have additional option names of its own without too much
trouble. I just don't want to have to re-translate strings containing
"Ubuntu" to contain "Edubuntu" instead, that's all.

As I said to you the other day, that option was renamed from "custom" to
"server" at Mark's request last year to try to dispel the "Ubuntu is
only for desktops" myth. Mark, what do you think about this in the
Edubuntu case, where the standard Edubuntu installation actually does
more server-ish things like building an LTSP client chroot? I'd be in
favour of renaming it to "Install a base system" or something in that
case.
