I think it is a great program. I have installed Google Earth and many games with it that are not in the Ubuntu repos. For these games I would have to add a third party repo anyway, or find a .deb package that doesn't work. The only, and I mean only problem I found is that if you have other 3rd party repos added that has a newer version of the package your installing then you may end up with broken packages. So yelling, OMG Ultamatix broke my Ubuntu, is rather silly. activating any repo that contains different versions of the same packages your Ubuntu repos have can cause broken packages, and then it takes what, about 2 minutes to fix those problems.
And to Jared, you may want to dig around those forums better. I can understand you defending your original work. Force-yes is used only because the developer assumes total idiots aren't installing his software. He assumes that if you check on a box and click start then that is what the user wants to do. Ultamatix also runs Lintian, but I'm unsure if this version of Ultamatix is out for the public yet.
