Ok I can make these changes to the current setup. Haven't heard of
$LILYPOND_GIT but I guess it's in the CG so I'll take a look.

I suggested it mainly b/c Ubuntu has very different UI in new
releases, the Unity DE. For ubuntu 12.04 (next LTS release coming in
spring) we may want to switch to xfce or switch to Debian completely.
I can do whatever y'all want.

Anyway I'll get started updating the 10.04 lilydev today, probably
have a new iso in next day or so.
