A brief update:

We're working with Ubuntu to get our packages set with the UserLinux marks removed that are in them today. The intent with the mark protections was to make it possible to have software that could have a respectable certification barrier (by attaching certification marks that aren't required for software operation), but not restrict the actual software by hard-wiring in those marks. The new changes will allow for Userlinux packages to be used readily (minus the UserLinux marks) outside of UserLinux, which is the way things should be.

In otherwords, everything is being resolved nicely.
