Actually I don't think binNMUs are needed in the first place for Ubuntu, 
mainly because there is no NMU-part of it.

After all, it's not too hard to write a script which fetches a number of 
packages, adds a changelog entry and uploads the result.
This imho is even better, since I guess that people will rather tend to take 
over responsibility by signing a .changes file and uploading a package 
instead of "just" clicking a lp button.

Cheers,
     Stefan.
