No, that seems to cover everything. :) One thing, you need to include a 
(cd mapit && git submodule update --init) after the mapit clone line, 
and for both you need a git submodule update after the git pull.

Mapit is a standard GeoDjango installation, so we just follow the main 
instructions given at 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#lenny - 
the packages should be given in mapit's conf/packages - and then use 
create_template_postgis-debian.sh to have a template_postgis you can use 
when creating the database.

You can make the SRID changes mentioned in mapit's README if you want 
and you still need to (not sure which version of PostGIS you will be 
running), but you don't have to as you won't be using UK co-ordinates :)

The reports page makes call(s) to mapit to know what to show, so this 
will fail until changes are made to the code and mapit is set up.
