Any chance of getting a switch in the installer that makes it install the -dev packages for each package, or something like that? It's a royal pain in the {body part of choice} to get Ubuntu set up for development, at least in my experience. It's nice that they're making it very easy for non-developers to get running, and I heartily applaud them for the achievement, but could we do something to improve the -dev package support? Feel free to post ways to get all the dev packages for e.g. KDE, Gnome, PyGTK, CLISP, whatever, installed at once, if I'm missing something...

You can do similar with a core gnome package to pull in most of the gnome stack.
