If that's true for Ubuntu GNOME, then all is good. I was just bringing
it up as it's *not* true for Ubuntu proper -- while
/etc/apt/sources.list does have universe of course (as we enable that
by default), the local cache in /var/lib/apt/lists/ doesn't, thus
without running "apt-get update" (which ubiquity doesn't do by
default) you can't install universe bits.
