In my opinion, I wouldn't mind this, but I'm not sure it's all a great idea. (Not trying to burst your bubble, because I'll +1 that if others do)

I think that since Ubuntu still uses "password" rather than "pass phrase", this may be confusing to new users of Ubuntu, as well as computer systems in general. 

Still, I like the idea. 

Thanks,
