1) Sound got fixed just recently, just didn't have added it as a dependancy in the hardware support package.

2) Admittedly this is a problem, but then again - try (Maemo doesn't count, the UI isn't open) find a decent GUI for setting up your bluetooth phone as a modem and using it. It's difficult. If you can find one for Linux, be my guest and tell me so I can add it.

I have just discovered how easy Bluetooth PAN is and I don't know how many phones support this by standard (my Sony Ericsson K610i sure does). It just needs a simple user interface on top and it works.

3) Synaptic just got added to dependancies as it's probably useful. That's what I get for sitting in ssh/console with it all day..

4) Admittedly, I didn't think of this one until you said so - yes, clicks does help navigating if you touched hard enough for touchscreen to sense it or just moving the cursor. If we get the hildon ubuntu mobile/plankton layout running correct, that comes along..
