Yes, right. In the past we had a lot of changes to do in the packages,
but thanks to Waldemar and Thomas, this is gone.

Some things are still very Debian specific, but most of the things are
only concerning the packaging. An easy task to do...I'll push the
changes into my SVN accont on FAI/debian svn the next weeks. I would
like to make some more changes to the simple examples, so that people on
ubuntu side can install an Ubuntu Lucid system out of the box (still
working on that)

Well, for Ubuntu Lucid the add to the package archive is not possible
anymore, therefore we will provide packages via Ubuntu FAI PPA.
For maverick, this could be a way to go (but I dare that's a good idea,
because Maverick will be not a rock solid release). I think a good idea
would be to test the FAI packages for Maverick and Mavrick+1  and
Maverick+2 to get FAI again in Ubuntu for the next LTS (which will be
Ubuntu 12.04 or whatever ;))
