Comment 18 for bug 154349

My experience is different. I see many competent and friendly discussions on Launchpad, and often they soon came to a nice result - especially in smaller sub-projects.

This bug seems small, but it may spread over multiple core components like synaptics and apt. Perhaps that's why nobody risks to mess with it?

I hope that its age, number of duplicates and upstream report are enough to make it a "One Hundred Paper Cut". So it may be fixed for Lucid (LTS). IMHO it meets the definition on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.
