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.
.
LP: #432089.
