At the moment, there are serious barriers to adopting this software for Ubuntu, 
but I'm working on fuzzing the edges.   These problems are:
* Lacks translations
* Requires uinput readable by user
* Requires ACLs to make gnome-screensaver work
* Stores authentication data in a strange place
* Does not, and cannot, unlock gnome keyrings on login.  
* Requires users to muck with udev rules, /etc/modules and /etc/pam.d/ files
* No GDM integration to detect user via fingerprint

Most importantly:
* Potentially conflicts with US Export Laws.  I think the design is in the 
clear, but I am also not a lawyer versed in export law.

Help is certainly welcome.  If anyone has writes patches for any of
these, attach them here and submit upstream!
