However, the current version of Calibre on Ubuntu 11.10 does not include this feature. Hopefully, the imminent 12.04 will have a sufficiently new version...

Thanks for all the great ideas, folks!
Forget ever using the Repository version of Calibre. It is weeks out of date when the release of FIRST appears and is over 6 months old by the time the next release of Ubuntu.
I added the command line Update string to a custom Launcher on the (Systems) Menu (even works in Unity). a single click, a Password for Sudo, and another Enter to accept the default: /opt
