I think it's this feature that Ubuntu integrates into their install process, so you can add your GH keys for SSH auth. which is v.useful.

Could you expand on this a bit. Where does Ubuntu ask for your github username?

Where I see it is in the interactive installer for Ubuntu server, there's a screen that asks if you want to install SSH on the host and then it asks if you want to import keys from GH. You pass it a GH user name and it lists the keys to be imported.
