Comment 44 for bug 346095

Several users in this thread either don't know C, or don't have the time. So
they cannot help & provide this missing functionality,
usability/accessibility bug. Call it how you want.
The one person who has effectively done something, is scared to even propose
his work for inclusion, as (I guess) he feels it would simply be rejected
based on "it's not up to our quality standards".

Neither the devs, or the users, are moving towards an acceptable fix, that
would require a code change.

Would it be difficult to take these 3 packages:
ubuntu-desktop, notification-daemon and notify-osd and do the following:

ubuntu-desktop depends on "notification-provider"
notification-daemon: "provides notification-provider, conflicts or replaces
notify-osd"
notify-osd: "provides notification-provider, conflicts or replaces
notification-daemon"

A fresh installation could have notify-osd installed by default, and
upgrading users could have the choice of which notification mechanism they
want, either during upgrade (if possible), or with a release note.

Would this be workable and acceptable ?
