I've only just been converted to the One True Distro a monthish ago 
(woah, so much better than RH! apt rocks!)--thanks for doing this.

There's only a few things I would pipe into to say:

* NetPBM's version (at least in the testing/woody area) has been 
broken before - deb accepted 2.19 which had some JFIF-related bug. 
And before that, gallery required a higher version than what was in 
stable. v2's config wizard will be unit testing the image toolkit, so 
it'll hork up a complaint during configuration. 2.20 (in testing now) 
is fine currently, though.

* Just as a heads-up, G2 will be able to use either ImageMagick or 
NetPBM - ImageMagick being the favored library (as it can do lossless 
jpeg translations, like image rotation, and maintain EXIF headers)... 
The big woop is that you might need to change the depends come 
Feb-ish.

* The squirrelmail package nicely burps at the end of setup

"Run /etc/squirrelmail/conf.pl to update configuration"

You may want to invoke configure.sh and let that echo to the console 
"please point a user agent at http://.....gallery/setup/"

* Where were you going to stuff gallery in the htdoc hierarchy? Heck, 
given that we know that the apache config is (we can check for both 
/etc/apache and /etc/apache-ssl for httpd.conf) we might be able to 
guess the URL to tell the user now.

As I'm working on G2's config wizard, I'll see what wwwconfig-common 
gives us to see if that can help this process.

Again, thanks for the effort!
