What sparked my idea was the fact I was burning a few CDs, a Warty Daily 
build amongst them, and using cdlabelgen to print labels.

It's a while since I used cdlablegen, and I found it now copes with lots 
of label formats for CD {slim,standard} cases, DVD cases and more.

When I reinstall, I like to know what I'm installing (helps with my 
reports), but in the case of Ubuntu I rarely do with sufficient precision.

I have a colour printer, but some don't so something that prints well in 
colour and greyscale is needed.

If the official labelling is decided, then I guess these labels should 
look similar to the Gold editions.

cdlabelgen can use images (but I've not tried that), so static content 
in the form of a JPEG(?) oe EPS(!) image can be used to give the overall 
appearance.

For the daily builds, I envisage
a) Preserving the creators timestamp when I download
b) Incorporating that date like this:

summer at Glider:~$ date=$(date --reference=warty/warty-i386.iso +%y%m-%H%M)
summer at Glider:~$ echo ${date}
0409-2153
summer at Glider:~$
Previews, sounders, betas and release candidates would have appropriate 
text in place of the daily build info.
