I think this is a great Idea and want to suggest one more profile:

Ubuntu Instant Authorization server
-----------------------------------
Kerberos
ldap
webbinterface to administrate users

It may also be a good idea to add dhcp, dns.
This concept whould be very much like MS AD-server.
If you have installed this serverprofile on your network, then it would
be nice if the Ubuntu client installation automatically finds it using
zeroConf or similar technique.
