Comment 29 for bug 1157654

@ grinch

Ubuntu includes the package because its architecture is based on Debian's; and what Debian is using right now is this package, till they upgrade it.

And the reason why this bug isn't corrected is plainly because the triaging work-flow isn't agile enough right now for handling errors at the cadence Ubuntu releases have.

Canonical took this decision probably because it would be difficult to create a constant flow of improvement with software being stabilized for a long time. So they relied that Ubuntu would be able to fix problems in the future in shorter periods of time, after some continuous improvement in bug management processes and getting more people interested in using the operating system.
