Roller bearing headset installation?

I'm putting a Stronglight A9 new headset into my bike, and wondering if there are any special points to watch, relative to say, installing a Campy or Tange with round bearings. I've heard that alignment is more critical in a roller-bearing headset than with round balls. Any tips welcome!
