Comment 97 for bug 524281

I installed the latest (at the time) build from Brian's ppa. I saw
some power improvements (not a lot IIRC), but gained the mouse bug.
This is in contrast with the default lucid kernel (up to date as of
yesterday I think).

I don't really know what you mean by encouraging, and I definitely
wasn't saying anything about upstream.

I completely agree, fixes need to be backported into lucid when they
come in. LTS should include the guarantee that a big issue like this
doesn't leave an LTS release out cold for another three years while
"less-stable" releases charge ahead without the bug.
