So people install the CSSU & a GUI settings editor - which is too complex (or, ultimately, we change the default. Muwahahaha)

Similarly with rotation lock: the CSSU can provide the capability (through a gconf key) to expose an orientation lock. But then it's not actually useful until someone installs the status area menu (note, this is proper orientation lock, not a forcerotation shortcut only for devs). So, now we're up to 3 packages for the "ideal Maemo" experience.

As you say, though, people might not be interested in rotation lock. For though, existing control panel settings applets are replaced or enriched; so you could have Display > Alternate orientation effect and Display > Show orientation lock.
IMHO, the CSSU need not have all those GUI apps bundled with it. But we could have a meta package in the repos that installs all the extra GUIs that can make modding cssu easier.
This way, the hardcore fanatics who'd rather change stuff manually are happy, and the end users' happiness is just a single install away.
