Is it possible to include the ppa as part of the firefox-installer that comes on the iso? would it be possible for the firefox-installer to install this firefox-kde and have firefox be a separate package? Could firefox-kde be put on the standard kubuntu servers since it would be a different package than firefox and skip the whole ppa part to begin with? This would be ideal from a user point of view, and would simplify things for the end-user greatly. I don't know if any of this is possible from a canonical point of view or a kubuntu point of view and the politics therein, but now that we are truely a community version couldn't we just do it anyway?
