The dependencies for it are really low so far, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD and http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/indicator-appmenu-tools .
It doesnt even need Unity. I think that HUD integration will provide better accesibilty to special need users, blind users, people with low mobility problems like MS, just to say some examples. It will provide a better interrelation between mainbuntu's objectives aswell, and it will basically use the power of new technologies on xubuntu, it can make it "prettier" as some people has been complaining xubuntu is not (though I dissagree). one other point to HUD integration is that google docs now uses a similar concept for their menus :D, dont know how that helps but i like it. -- Bruno.-
