Bug description:
Ubuntu already has the JOSM package to help edit openstreetmap.org data and the gosmore application for using the OSM data, so it might be useful to add the osmosis package that can be very helpful in manipulating large OSM datafiles.

On the osmosis page on openstreetmap.org's wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmosis) osmosis is described thusly:

Osmosis is a command line java app for processing OSM data. The tool consists of a series of pluggable components that can be chained together to perform a larger operation. For example, it has components for reading from database and from file, components for writing to database and to file, components for deriving and applying change sets to data sources, components for sorting data, etc. It has been written so that it is easy to add new features without re-writing common tasks such as file or database handling.
