Comment 4 for bug 1497604

Unetbootin is in universe now. Do you mean that it should be moved to main? That might be a good idea, if it helps keeping it up to date :-)

Who can move a program package from one repository to another one?

Do you need more information?

I have already described the bug in the opening comment. I can add that it is important to upgrade Unetbootin to the current version (to what is uploaded to the developer's PPA). Otherwise the version that a regular user installs is likely to fail to install newer versions of Ubuntu (particularly the newest version). And Unetbootin is typically used to install a newer version of Ubuntu into a USB pendrive for testing and installing.

The problems arise when the boot configuration for the live session is changed from one version to the next version, and the problems correspond to some of the problems of the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator. Unetbootin's developer can usually fix the problems soon after they are discovered, but someone most port the current version to the Ubuntu repos for all the supported versions of Ubuntu.

This bug report does not suggest to develop Unetbootin beyond the developer's version.
