What is the status of Debian Bug 444697? Is it opened or closed or something else? I've read its thread (not well enough, I guess) at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444697 , and I sent an e-mail to <email address hidden> but the e-mail bounced back (SMTP; 550 unknown user).

I have an utter lack of experience with how Debian bugs are reported, confirmed, escalated, assigned, and fixed, and beyond that, how fixed Debian bugs are propagated to the latest (now Hardy) Ubuntu release, and how that process can be escalated.

I understand that those who know the code have stated that the fix is non-trivial, but how do we all (and whoever else relies heavily on libvnc.so) go about escalating this bug, and is escalation even possible? Or is the bug closed and in need of being reopened?

Are there alternatives? What about the libvnc.so that's in xf4vnc?

Who made the decision to include a pre-release version of the X server 1.4 in Hardy? (a silly question at this point, I guess, since it's too late to change it).
