Title:
  [needs-packaging] Clean-Ubiquity (automatic MBR backup)

Status in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Clean-Ubiquity is a small tool (<100ko), written in Bash, that performs a MBR backup before Ubuntu's installation. (and links the MBR to the new Linux's partition UUID).
  No visible change for the user.

  Licence: GPLv3

  Project page : https://launchpad.net/clean-ubiquity
  Source code and DEBs : https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/clean-ubiquity/+packages

  Its MBR backups can be recovered manually, but they can also be used by the 2 following graphical tools :
  - OS-Uninstaller (allows to uninstall any Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu... in 1 click)
  - Boot-Repair (repair frequent boot problems, restore MBR, reinstall GRUB)

  DEB packages are ready, on the PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and
  11.10, and have already been included them with success in ISO of
  Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 (see
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615667), and also Ubuntu
  derivatives.

  Integration in ISO is easy : Clean-Ubiquity needs 2 DEB (from PPA) and 2 preseed, one to launch a bash script before installation, the other to launch another script after the installation.
  Clean-Ubiquity and the 2 above tools have been intensively tested, and already used by ~10.000 French users. (+1000 ISO downloads per week worldwide.)

  (This is not an April fool. :-)
