Yes, GOA is packaged in Ubuntu and will be visible in the control
center, if you use the GNOME 3 session.
But that is not the default, right?

No, I think that the only sensible thing to do is add the required
package versions in the configure.ac bits (I wrote the needed versions
in the bug report), and do not bother supporting older releases;
otherwise the delta between UOA and gSSO would get much bigger.
Let's rephrase ;-) Would it be useful for Ubuntu users to support a more
recent Ubuntu distro, and if so, which one?
BTW, Quantal is more than 1 year old now, and not being an LTS
I'd
recommend upgrading. :-)
It's really only used for compilation, so I'm not concerned about the
lack of support. There is no more recent LTS yet, and downgrading
wouldn't give me the EDS >= 3.6 libraries.
