I used the usernames you asked for, otherwise I used those I found 
inside the public ssh keys.  I had to convert Paul's key with ssh-keygen 
to something openssh understands.  Also installed sudo and set it up so 
you have full rights.  Let me know if anything doesn't work.

Traditionally we've always done it that way, and even though I prefer 
using debian packages (I roll my own if required) I think the 
traditional way will suit you better.

I'm familiar with using apache or squid as a reverse proxy/accelerator. 
  Might need some details on a mod_python setup.

Personally I prefer postgresql, but it is up to you.  I know both 
databases well.
