A lot of people here don't use Ubuntu. For what it's worth, if it's this easy, why haven't you sent us a patch to implement it? In all cases, I'd advise you to read the mailing-list archives, as there's already people working on this (Paul posted a status report about his work a couple of hours before you sent your misguided e-mail).
