why not?  That script can do what you want it to do.  It can install
extra packages from ubuntu reposititories.  It can also install extra
packages from whatever other source you want, legal or illegal from a
non-canadian point of view.   So instead of creating a whole 700mb ISO
containing your canadianized-Ubuntu distro, you host instead your
smaller bits of binaries you want offer  (i.e, your codecs), and the
script install them for the user.
