über-readahead is a replacement for sreadahead that should
significantly improve boot performance on rotational hard drives,
especially those that had regressed in performance from jaunty to
karmic.

It does this by pre-loading such things as ext2/3/4 inodes and opening
files in as logical order as possible before loading all blocks in one
pass across the disk.

On SSD, this behaves much as sreadahead used to, replacing that package
with slightly improved tracing code.

This requires the kernel package also found in karmic-proposed.

LP: #432089.
