+From: Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.trudel-lapierre@canonical.com>
+Subject: Really disable the connectivity check.
+Bug-Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/608701
+
+This was disabled upstream due to IPv4/IPv6 reachability concerns with the
+implementation of the external webservices. However, it's not been totally
+disabled: just the message update from the check result was removed.
+
+Completely disable the connectivity check so that no traffic is sent out,
+since any such check done silently really isn't very nice.
