Thanks... but I guess the problem boils down to *me*......

I am obviously expecting way too much of these templates or I just don't get 
the concept, or I am just not on the same page, all of the above, and more... 
or something...

So I just took my plain basic test container I setup, cloned it... then... 
connected to the container....

sudo apt-get install tasksel

Selected LAMP server and away we goooooooooooooooo!

It seems to me like this is a template that others would want to use and get 
going quickly, but again see above...

So I tweaked this all up for things like remote MySQL etc...  just have to 
install phpmyadmin and Webmin, Exim, SA, and a ftp server...

One little glitch I seem to have is MySQL SSL.. more on that later....

Again I guess in my theory the templates are there to save me time, but not in 
the way I guess others or at least the developers and/or others envision it.

Thanks for the input, and again I guess my view and take on this is just not 
the same as others, which is normally the case...
