Title:
  Make U1 work with migration assistant for easily importing settings
  that were backed up to your U1 account

Status in Ubuntu One Client:
  Triaged
Status in “migration-assistant” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * How about adding the option to Ubuntu One to save various
  configuration settings/profiles (for example on my current machine) and
  to offer import them during the installation of the new machine? So I'd
  get completely configured machine right out of the box.

  Such configurations may include .rc files, firefox profiles and
  bookmarks, themes, etc. It may also have a plug-in infrastructure so
  other applications configurations could be added later on.

  That's exactly the kind of thing that migration-assistant does.
  However, this is hardly the place for feature requests.  Please use
  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com for that.  -- Evan

  
  Evan, I agree about feature request, but wouldn't it have legitimate reason to appear here as well? -- Alex

  No, because feature requests should either be filed as wishlist bugs or
  brought up on Brainstorm.  Specifications are for defining work you plan
  to do yourself, or for defining work that someone else, whom you have
  coordinated with, will do.  Besides, it's out of scope for this
  specification which deals with integrating an option to install Ubuntu
  One post-install in the installer.

  I suggest filing a bug against Ubuntu One
  (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/+filebug) and then the bug
  can be marked as wishlist and the migration-asssistant source package
  can be added to the bug from there, if deemed necessary by the Ubuntu
  One developers.  -- Evan
