Hi Folderol and list!
I think your debian LA config crib sheet should've been a new thread
as I can see this spawning a lot of debate and tweaks. When I'm
feeling better I may modify yours to how I do it but as for now I'll
just address a couple of standout points:

Rox filer? Not for me squire. When it was a gtk1 app it was lightning
fast but then when it switched to gtk2 it lost all appear for me. No
RMB on file to copy (ie having to open the target dir in a new window)
is a bit of a bind. Thunar FTW! ;)

All that can be dropped if the user forgoes rox of course.

You seem to be aiming for lightweight here. Unless you need its
advanced features I'd use mtpaint instead of gimp. I use filezilla
instead of gftp for GUI ssh/ftp coz its cross platform.

Could add many many more to this list but I suspect most here know
what apps they want.

Then
alsactl store 0 (or whatever its alsa device number is)

Don't think you meant to include this first line- most won't have the
64studio CD/DVD

You can vastly reduce the amount of dev packages you list here with a simple
apt-get build-dep ardour
Which will get most of the dev packages a LAU would want in one shot
(but not autoconf and subversion/ git to name a few notable
exceptions)
HTH?
