Well, there is no such thing as the linux "core". Each Linux distributor
(Ubuntu in your case, but there are quite a few others) chooses to
include some packages into their distribution, each package being
developped upstream by an independent group of developers. A (small)
subset of those packages gets installed by default.

Dump is packaged by most (all ?) of the Linux distributions. But it
may not be installed by default.

For example, if you just do a:
	sudo apt-get install dump
on your Ubuntu distribution you will be able to install it.

Of course, it may not be the latest version of dump...
