I'm not sure now that what I really want is a jr-specific tool for setting up user accounts. I'd rather see the intelligence be *in the Debian system* itself, and not in the per-user configs in each child's home dir. See my post in the "per user config in debian-jr packages" today for a few ideas on this.
