This is a really good idea and I'm just writing this review as feedback to help improve it. I don't think the repositories are being installed correctly, I get 404 errors every time I try to apt-get update. The second version also does not work. It gets stuck trying to use DejaDupe to back up the system and can't find the hard drive where I have my DejaDupe backups. Since I've stopped using this backup program for BackInTime I'm happy to use that instead, but the script insists on trying to get a DejaDupe backup and then stops when it can't. Destura claims it can't install due to GTK+ being missing, which is odd since Destura is already installed on this machine. Biggest problem is the login splash used to be the same as whatever background I had on the Desktop at the time and now it's just the Wheezy default. I cannot get it to change back to the way I had it before! Help me out with this and I will keep testing this project!
