I wasn't talking about translation groups. That's another problem.

I DO know that Ubuntu is not using open mode, I meant packages
included in a standard installation.

For example, Gutsy had encrypted File system as a new feature.

There is a package (EncFS) that had (not now because I contacted the
owner) open mode.
Does this package the one used by Gutsy?
Maybe I'm wrong, tell me if so.
