I have almost the same, also based on xsel. I made it into a package [1], but then I learned another guy had submitted a package to ELPA, only based on xclip (which I first used, but dropped for some reason in favor of xsel). So I never submitted it, but perhaps I still will. Both xsel and xclip are in the repositories for Debian and surely for Ubuntu as well (if you are using Unity, I mean). Also, if you are using tmux, I wrote some code [2] so that you can insert what you kill in tmux into an Emacs buffer. The Emacs kill-yank keys are at work by default in tmux, I think, but tmux requires a little love [3] to write the killed region to a file, which is then inserted from Emacs. Good luck!
