I'm not a big fan of having to install software in Ubuntu by giving "(gtk)sudo" access. In my opinion it'd be better to be able to install single packages that don't touch /sys or etc without having to elevate privileges. At some point there will be an exploit regarding the post-install script that gets run after installing a package, and something naughty's gonna happen.
