Definitely worth looking into.  Aside from their reliance on certain
pieces of non-free software (mostly to solve education-specific needs,
e.g. imapd, smartup) there is bound to be overlap between what they have
done and what a debian-edu group would have to accomplish.  However, since
their focus seems to be servers, and Debian Jr.'s more on the desktop end,
they are not quite as good a match for Debian Jr. itself.
