I like the fact that Ubuntu doesn't have a huge collection of configuration tools with complex layers of settings (like YAST) but I think that these tools need to be readily available for the power user who wants a bit more out of their system.

There are hundreds of gui configuration tools in the repositories such as startup-manager, bootup-manager, gshutdown, gnome-schedule, galternatives, gsambad, assogiate, and more.

I think it would be great to have an "advanced configuration tools metapackage" or even several metapackages for different categories such as "network configuration", "boot and shutdown tools", etc.

I would prefer not to see everything included by default as it gets too complicated and I really like the fact that Ubuntu comes on one cd. That is what brought me to Ubuntu in the first place.
