Binary package hint: ubiquity

Clean-Ubiquity is a small tool (<100ko), written in Bash, that performs a MBR backup before Ubuntu's installation.
No visible change for the user.
Project page : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615667
Source code : https://sourceforge.net/projects/os-uninstaller/files/

Its MBR backups power the 2 following tools (which are functional but cannot be included yet as they are not yet translated in all the languages of the live-CD) :
- OS-Uninstaller (allows to uninstall any Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu... in 1 click)
- Boot-Repair (repair frequent boot problems, restore MBR, reinstall GRUB)

DEB packages are ready, on my PPA, and I already included them with success in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu 10.10 (I called this remix Ubuntu-Secured-Remix). Clean-Ubiquity also needs 2 preseed, one to launch a script before installation, the other to launch another script after the installation.
Clean-Ubiquity and the 2 above tools have been intensively tested, and already used by thousands French users.
