Comment 8 for bug 1049210

May I ask why does it take so long to release an updated package containing a tiny tiny fix that solves one of the most annoying issues on Ubuntu's GNOME? It's been available on Tim's PPA https://launchpad.net/~darkxst/+archive/ppa/+build/3935337 for ten days already, even longer on Debian and still it haven't reached even the quantal-proposed. Not to mention that this -proposed queue is altogether unnecessary in this case, since the patch is a one-liner and it does work as intended.

Ubuntu used to be quick in dealing with such trivial things, therefore it's sad that it somehow just blown everything up with all those inadequate policies in the past few years. Having a simple and acknowledge PPA that would work like, e.g., Debian Experimental, where packages are put first, if there are doubts about their quality, so that users could test them, would make the things more available.
