I don't know what the standard deviation should be and whether it is a 
function of N but the following makes sense:

- for all k, pick a random number with mean == N/k and standard 
deviation == ???

- if the sum > N, remove an item from a random bucket for sum - N times

- if the sum < N, add an item to a random bucket for N - sum times
