Okay, the proposed merges should cover everything, and I will get to
writing documentation as soon as it's released. This will be in the form
of a tutorial on my blog, aggregated on Planet Ubuntu. Very shortly
after that, it will be a wiki page.

The changes to ubiquity are _required_ for compatibility with the latest
version of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu. (Translations will not be detected
without these changes). The changes to ubuntu-defaults-builder are
strictly new features — nothing is broken as it is.

It will be really great if we can get these both in for Beta 1 Freeze,
or at least the Beta 1 release. That should give groups building custom
ISOs enough time to prepare for the Quantal release, including time to
file bugs regarding this feature (which could take a bit of effort to
spot).

Title:
  Please support customization of ubiquity-slideshow through defaults
  builder

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-defaults-builder” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Many teams would like the ability to customize the installer
  slideshow, enhancing existing screenshots and slides with translations
  and special content.

  At this point, ubiquity-slideshow supports customization with an
  optional directory located at /usr/share/ubiquity-
  slideshow/slides/extra. This directory contains any customized slides
  or screenshots, for any locales that are supported by Ubiquity, placed
  like the following:

  extra/C/screenshots/usc.jpg
  extra/it/gethelp.html
  extra/it/screenshots/browse.jpg

  This can be done easily enough by hand.
  There is one other very important file which needs to be generated automatically: extra/directory.jsonp.

  To complete this feature, we need to make it really easy for people to
  create the extra slides directory using defaults builder.
