Don't get me wrong, I'm not a purist at all. I would also be happier
if this 'bug' (the kernel developers probably don't think it is a bug)
wasn't introduced in the kernel.

Why is this kernel in ubuntu? No idea, only the ubuntu kernel team can
answer that question for sure. An educated guess: probably every new
kernel release fixes more hardware problems than it creates. So a
newer kernel probably works on more computers... (this is just a
guess).

@ezechiel: As far as I can see, the coolpix 2000 is already in
unusual_devs.h since 30 Nov 2005 09:16:00.
See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=17fa6e552f2fc6bb06af767b0abf9cb642e13404

Did you recently update your firmware? If not, then your problem is
probably not related to this bug...
