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.
