+1 for packaging! Ultimately it is important to support as many platforms as 
possible, but Debian is a great start. 

What OfBiz "version" do you base your packages on? Also, do you assume a 
particular database, or require one as a package dependency? Does your 
packaging provide any "smart" setup such as prompting for database username/pw?

This is great and I hope one day we will be able to finalise it ! 

I was not thinking about rpms only, Windows users exist too...
