Exactly: I am myself, even when coordinating Ubuntu papercuts quality :-D

I can tell you two secrets:

  - One is the software quality assurance is in its infancy, and some
work is still to be done. And operating systems usually ignore this by
testing software for long periods of time.

  - The other is I only sell with the work finished. Even when I have
been spending my hole attention on this issue and I believe there will
be a huge difference, the reality is that it's only warranted what
already is.

Since the package is borrowed from Debian, only Debian could do that.
But Ubuntu is still able to fix the package itself.
