Personally I've found that LTS in Ubuntu terms = Long term security patches. Things like updated hardware support get completely ignored. As for openssh, if you're installing any number of machines you should set something like the following in your preseed file: d-i pkgsel/install-pattern string ~t^ubuntu-minimal$|~n^ssh$ Likewise you should be able to preseed your kernel using one of the options from base-installer/kernel. Probably base-installer/kernel/image or base-installer/kernel/override-image. Install debconf-utils and check out `debconf-get-selections' and `debconf-get-selections --installer' for options, including ones to script lvm and md during install.
If you don't agree, but still want to use the software, get your dog to click the 'I Agree' button. That way, you technically didn't install it, you get the use of it, and I doubt anyone will take your dog to court over its agreeing to an EULA.
I've always preferred http://www.google.com/search?q=glasgow+is+the+*+capital+of+europe to demonstrate this feature.

You're thinking of lawyers.
its a little bit more than driver updates
X4.4 includes autoconfguration (bye bye XF86Config) and ipv6, as well as a host of bugfixes.
virus scanners have to be kept current. Many new PCs ship with norton, and user's still don't update the signatures.

Damn the man. Save the empire.
