Because the upload contained a reference to a private bug, I've had to remove this from precise-proposed and quantal-proposed. I'm contacting the uploader to get a fixed version uploaded ASAP. We can fast-track the reupload so it won't have to wait the full seven days again.

I've resurrected this to precise-proposed. Not going to do quantal just yet for two reasons: (a) I want to have a discussion with the folks who felt removing this was the right thing and, (b) I'll need to review quantal's upload, since it was not accepted by ~ubuntu-sru the first time around.

I did the removal. I have zero objection to re-upload without the private bug. I removed it for reasons of project transparency.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
