Alright, I'll check out the debian/ubuntu source. For some reason I thought it was going to be an easy add, and something that just made sense. But I'm not the one with the code in front of me.
I should also point out that since I'm using the ubuntu release it would take a while for it to be the code to pass down to me anyway. Even if it was added today; so I can wait. Sorry for letting Rolf get to me, my initial intention was probably poorly stated. I should have said it more as an idea that seemed to me as if everyone overlooked.
