Lucas,

It's useful to developers, who are roughly what percentage of the Ubuntu user-base? And who surely know how to manually install a package from Debian? Besides surely, if they want to report a Debian bug, can't they just use reportbug from their Debian install?

Besides, IT IS BROKEN AS SHIPPED. Why do people keep making excuses, as if it's okay to ship broken software as a few developers know what to do with it? If someone writes a patch that fixes it, then fine. Nobody has. So on that basis, it should be removed. If someone writes an acceptable patch for Ubuntu, and the maintainers apply it, then naturally it should be readmitted.
