This is what dropbox does albeit a download and not on CD, and it seems to work nicely. You end up with a boatload of statically linked libraries in ~/.dropbox-dist as a result though. I don't know if you'd look to let the shim install a deb or do a similar think to dropbox, but whatever you do, make it "Just Work". That's one significant advantage dropbox has over Ubuntu One. (That's aside from dropbox being properly cross platform (same functionality and UI on all three platforms) and "Just Work"ing behind a proxy. Neither of which U1 does yet which are the two reasons I (and many others[0]) don't use it) Al.
