In reply to: default template for new sitesThis just seems to have been added to the wp.org http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/site-template/ which seems to allow for the extra functionality.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: default template for new sitesI could have swore the plugin used to do that, but it doesn’t allow for additional pages to be chosen or to set a different page for the home/blog. You can set default categories, remove default links and add your own.

In reply to: Super Admin Only ThemeYou can also go to Super Admin->Sites then edit the site that you want to “turn on” a theme for. On the right will be a list of all installed themes, and activate the theme(s) you want to allow that site to use.

In reply to: Is there a way to “duplicate” a site?This plugin is also useful in adding more options for defaults in new sites http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/
It’s not been updated for 3.0, but I haven’t encountered any issues with it in a 3.0 environment.

In reply to: mu-pluginsAlso note, plugins in mu-plugins are active across the network, not just for the super-admin. Every site they will be executed. They might not show up in any menus, but they are certainly there.

In reply to: Cloning blog in MU from Dev environment to ProdIn WPMU 2.9.2 there’s a menu under Site Admin-> Global Tags meant for dealing with this exact problem (seems it was removed in WP 3.0 however). If you aren’t aggregating any of the content, then the global tags table really won’t effect each individual site. However, this menu option is there for helping mitigate a migration such as the one you are referencing.
If you don’t have a slew of users on the dev site, just the local admin, then there’s no concern in that table either. Otherwise, you might need to either dump those users, or simply recreate them in the production environment.
One caveat I discovered when migrating via sql dumps is the issue particularly with the options table and the serialized arrays. Doing search and replace within those can break things, especially anything in a widget.
I found this little script invaluable for my migrations http://spectacu.la/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
