Jason,

Standing on the shoulders of those who made the install targets distributed
with EG2.1, I hacked together my own additions to target Ubuntu 11.10.  It
seemed to work alright except for shoe-horning in Postgresql-9.1. I am sure
it is more trouble than it is worth to do this for production.  I am
planning to do something like that again working from an alpha of EG on the
Ubuntu 12.03 LTS Alpha Flight.  It remains to be seen if I can do it, but
at least working toward the next LTS version, I will not be doing something
totally useless.
