What I have done in the three patch files:

(1) Created a separate "INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid" file based on the original 
    "INSTALL.ubuntu".  Decided it was best to simply create a new version
    of the file so that references to old needs did not have to be kept.
    Not entirely updated as yet -- just worked on packages and cpan.

(2) Updated the ubuntu.packages file with the various packages available
    for lucid and corrected the various issues I found with typos, duplicates,
    etc.  Decided not worth creating a separate version specifically
    for lucid as dselect appears to ignore stuff it cannot find/recognize.
    So, that shouldn't hurt installs on earlier versions.

(3) Added a script utility (install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh) mentioned
    in "INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid".  Basically what this does is read the file
    "ubuntu.packages" and use "apt-cache policy" to report the version of 
    each package that is found installed (if not installed, the version 
    will be "(none)" or "" depending on apt-cache's reaction to a given
    package name).

    This should make it a little easier to see what dselect was and was
    not able to install.
