With SSDs getting quite popular on notebooks and Eee's and clones I think Ubuntu should take care about providing an SSD-friendly configuration out of the box. This should include:
1. Adding noatime options in fstab
2. Using tmpfs for /tmp and /var subdirectories
3. Fixing programs like apt and privoxy to correctly handle empty /var/log directory.
4. Reduced swappiness.
This option could also be helpfull to minimize power comsumption on an HDD-based notebook.
PS So far the best way I see to implement it would be (besides fixing programs that misbehave with empty /var/log) creating a package installing which would adjust fstab and swappiness and provide startup/shutdown scripts to store/restore /var subdirectories.
