Binary package hint: wordpress

This may be just a touch controversial, but I believe it has merit.

The default Wordpress install should be hardened to some extent. The
version number removal, renaming of the admin account, moving wp-admin,
and several other various things that will probably be undone by future
patches are all things that I consider mandatory. The relatively lax,
stock-style Wordpress install available by default in Debian/Ubuntu
needs a great deal of hardening. Leaving this fairly open-ended on
purpose, to keep from being instantly shot down - There is more to
securing this product than just keeping up with security alerts, and
much of it requires some flexibility and/or pre-release tightening of
security settings.
