Yes, it will make AWN more complete.

You could file a bug at launchpad that ask for this and give it the tag 'needs-packaging'. It happens often with requests like this.

But I want some alternatives to AWN too...

Currently awn-extras 0.2.6 is in Intrepid, which is great, and this can be marked as completed.

In the future, please use the procedures described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for requesting and creating new packages for inclusion in the repositories.

Apple's OS X Dock is now patented [1] so AWN, if still around in a year, will never be included by default with Ubuntu.

@brettalton: that patent will never hold up to a legal challenge.
