Title:
  [feature request] make ubuntu-manual portable

Status in Ubuntu Manual:
  New

Bug description:
  Description: 
  The whole removing and installing texlive was extremely well documented and the install-pkgs.sh script was a gift from the gods what is to be downloaded just to replace one's existing installation is quite large. Existing ~/texmf configurations make things more complicated too. Could you consider making the document more portable? 

  More info:

  I use bundledoc and snapshot (and arlatex, I think??) in some of my
  files to achieve this. The process is to add this to the beginning of
  the preample of the master file:

      \RequirePackage{snapshot}

  which creates a .dep file. Then one compiles the document and runs the
  script

      bundledoc --texfile=ubuntu-manual.tex --config=tetex.cfg ubuntu-
  manual.dep

  You do this only when you change the packages used in the document
  (basically, once) and it provides you with a zipped archive of
  everything (including the exact version of all the packages being used
  at the time!).

  Attached is a patch that adds snapshot to the tex file along with the
  .dep it produces.

  I'll also try to attach the zipped file here for the record (or in
  case someone doesn't want to do the reinstall or needs the packages).
  [It should have included the cc-icons but did not; I don't know why.]
