    Either we leave "apache-ssl" here, or we take "apache" and additional
    "libapache-mod-ssl" - which alternative does work better?

    There is zip-crypt that provides zip, "apt-get install zip" would
    resolve this automaticaly.

    Would it make any sense to install kaffe?

    Apropos Pilot stuff, since pilot-still is already included there should
    be "jpilot" too.

    These would make kernel-image-2.2.18* obsolete, wouldn't it?

    If you wish, but don't take dpkg-dev 1.9.9, it has important bugs

    But which one? mozilla-cvs (0.9.1) from
    deb http://www.debian.or.jp/~kitame/mozilla/ ./
    did work quite good for me now.

    ACK. Some European locales should be enabled too.

    Hm, I didn't...

    I prefer the first solution.

    Is there any way to restart apt-get from a postinst/preinst script, or
    to restart it immediately after the installation with specified options?
     
    I imagine a debconf dialog box asking:

    - Configure and install XFree 3.3.6 now?
    - Configure and install XFree 4.0.x now?

    The first option would install the current task-x-window-system (with
    anXious configuration), the other one would install the XFree-4.x
    equivalents.

    Hm. Another idea could be Opera, but it is evil non-free payware and
    should not be included on Debian CDs - not yet.
