gsmartcontrol - graphical user interface for smartctl

GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl, which is a tool for
 querying and controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
 Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the
 drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.
 .
 Features:
 .
  * automatically reports and highlights any anomalies;
  * allows enabling/disabling Automatic Offline Data Collection;
  * allows enabling/disabling SMART itself;
  * supports configuration of global and per-drive options for smartctl;
  * performs SMART self-tests;
  * displays drive IDs, capabilities, attributes, and self-test/error logs;
  * can read in smartctl data from a saved file, interpreting it as a read-only
    virtual device.

Ubuntu still doesn't have GSmartControl package, there is the bugreport about syncing gsmartcontrol 0.8.4-1 from Debian unstable, maybe this bugreport should be marked as a duplicate of bug #339746 ?
