2248 * Remove obselete-before-being-used username template

2250 and thus share its user-adding code rather than duplicating it.
2251 - But don't enable it yet, since we need to find a way to prevent its
2252 questions from being asked

2287 Not actually used yet due to need for testing, but having the
2288 templates present greatly simplifies testing the remaining integration

2343 * Attempt to configure X
2344 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
2345 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)

2347 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
2348 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
2349 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
2350 elsewhere, but for now...)

2374 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
2375 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
2376 * Add a progress bar
