in fact, it would be simple to create a "debian-np-desktop" profile
that's nearly identical to the freekbox3 without much trouble at all,
without the tweaks... (and maybe consider dropping things like wesnoth)

we'd probably want to do things like enable xdebconfigurator XF86Config
generation on boot, maybe a few other small tweaks.. but it's easy to
create a postinst script on a per-profile basis with simple-cdd.

input on what we'd do differently would be appreciated.

done.
