Title:
  Disk Utility Feature: Securely Wipe Disk

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Disk utility would be greatly more useful if it had a feature to
  securely wipe a disk. This can give options such as a 1-pass zero
  wipe, filling up the disk with /dev/random, as well as the algorithms
  used in dban. This is recommended when disposing of, selling or giving
  away a hard drive or computer.
