Description

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Requesting_a_new_package_for_Ubuntu "To get a package into Ubuntu, please file a bug in Launchpad and make sure it has the tag needs-packaging. Please mention where to get the source for it and which license it is under. An example request is here. Make sure you check which packages have already been requested. "

I'm not a Ubuntu user, but a large fraction of Linux users are, so this might increase our user base significantly.

If you happen to have a Ubuntu Launchpad account, this issue is for you.

Follow the Ubuntu packaging guidelines to create a proper package. No current pull requests or comments exist on this issue.
