Not com.ubuntu in general, but we will be offering
com.ubuntu.developer.$devusername.$appname (I believe I have that right)
in order that there can be a reasonable default in tools that doesn't
first require people to go and register a domain.

However, that's just a default, and for example our core apps will
likely be in com.ubuntu (or perhaps something like com.ubuntu.apps)
rather than being under the default per-developer namespace.
