A font-end for configurations, or something different?

Hmm, apt-get is not hard.
But anyway; the website says that I can find the sources on a url which then
contains 43 source packages. (most I hopefully don't need)
For some reason that does not sound very easy to setup...

So the kolab server provides the services of 4 standard protocols? Then I am
wondering why they are still provided in the sources package. Is it a front
end for existing services?
If so, then can you provide a bit more detail on the installation page on what
the server _is_ and how to install it.

It seems to me that for debian a good packaged dep (which depends on all
services you need) and a apt-source line will provide a smooth install without
installing 500Mb of stuff I allready have...

I must be misunderstanding something, since this sounds way too complicated..

Thanx.
