Comment 27 for bug 61463

sparr, it is not (only) about packages that are part of Ubuntu. It is also about software that came from the Internet or on CD-ROM from third parties. Software that (despite breaking the rules) used to work flawless, and that gives the non-technical end user errors now.

This bugreport is about a mindset: It is about not touching things that might result in other things (including the world outside Ubuntu) to break.
