My opinion is that the installation procedure should be as simple as
possible, to get the teacher responsible for the computer up and
running in no time.  Every extra question, and every extra option make
it harder for a person with no Linux experience to get Skolelinux
working.  I do not want to make the service distribution a default
option.  I want to make it easy to distribute the services to
different machines after the installation is done.

Remember, Skolelinux is Debian.  Everything in Debian is available in
Skolelinux.  All we got is a streamlined installation and some
preconfigured services and preinstalled software. :)
And we are working on getting all of Skolelinux included in Debian,
but some of the packages need more work before they will be accepted
into Debian.

Yes, using DNS service names as Harald described.
