I believe that Maarten marked it as 'won't fix' at a time when he
thought that 0.7.0-0ubuntu2 (the version in raring) would resolve
it, so in marking that he was saying earlier versions (i.e. precise, LT*S)
was abandoned but it would automagically be ok in future releases.

But that hope turned out to be wrong -- here we are in trusty and
it's still broken, and so any one of us can justifiably click on the
'won't fix' at the top of this ticket and return it to 'confirmed',
since positive action is in fact still required and it won't automagically
fix itself in the next release.
