do you really think its necessary to have another binary package ? why
not have ltsp-profile on all distros and have the distro specifics done
at build time, so we dont need a compicated replaces conflicts
mechanism, i'm pretty sure there will be other distro specific things
going on during package buildtime. also there should be no need for
special setups in CDDs (at least i was able to avoid that in edubuntu vs
ubuntu) the defaults should be good enough to be used universally and if
you urgently want additions that cant be applied upstream, you can use
the plugin system. 

i like the idea of having plugin subdirs, but i dont like the idea of
splitting up collaboration into the single distros/CDDs since it will
produce more work for us all if we need additional porting beyond
creating a generic code that suits us all.

sorry for not speaking up earlier about the topic, but we're in
preparation of a release here...

ciao
