This has been uploaded to karmic-proposed, since the kernel patch is there (though that might take some more cooking due to other patches in the kernel upload):
Changes: ureadahead (0.90.3-2) karmic-proposed; urgency=low . * über-readahead is a replacement for sreadahead that should significantly improve boot performance on rotational hard drives, especially those that had regressed in performance from jaunty to karmic. . It does this by pre-loading such things as ext2/3/4 inodes and opening files in as logical order as possible before loading all blocks in one pass across the disk. . On SSD, this behaves much as sreadahead used to, replacing that package with slightly improved tracing code. . This requires the kernel package also found in karmic-proposed. .
