Ideas on a repository of Virtual Disk Images (VDIs)
cyberorg set up this DL site for opensuse-edu:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/
for download see :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/Sugar/openSUSE-Sugar-vmware-vmx.tar.bz2/download
Maybe you could arrange for something similar for a
Ubuntu-Sugar-remix.vdi repository...

ALSO:
I maintain a sugarlabs page for downloads:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VirtualBox#Experimental_Prebuilt_VirtualBox_4GB_Blueberry.vdi_file
where I have experimental .vmx and .vdi files for Fedora
I have been successful using alsroot's ppa install methods for Ubuntu
9.10 and 9.04
