[needs-packaging] TuxGuardian
Please, add to Ubuntu repositories TuxGuardian. It is an application based firewall. It is a unique feature that is not offered by others linux firewalls. I think many new linux users would like to have this functionality, which is actually a standard for windows firewalls. It gives additional security options that others linux firewalls based on iptables don't have.
Features
Detects unauthorized applications trying to act like a client or a server;
Operates with or without user intervention;
Verifies the applications' integrity so that maliciously modified software won't be able to send or receive data through the network;
Uses a three-layered architecture of independent modules, which eases the task of addings new features and functionality;

Notes: Or alternatively it would be a good idea to develop for Ubuntu similar application with internet access control based on programs, not only on ports. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.
