Bug Description
ubuntu patch 04_changelog
This change is completely broken:
--- a/src/apt_
+++ b/src/apt_
- "http://
+ "http://
It changes the meaning of the template parameter and introduces new parameters. There is nowhere in the patch where the consumer of this template is updated. The combination of these two points is bad, very bad, but ok in this case–by default–as the template in question has not been used since ancient history. None-the-less, the above change is absolutely wrong: should the use of this template be re-introduced Ubuntu users are at-risk of having broken values for it in their custom configuration.
Remove that change.
The patch also includes changes to interface strings which overlap the scope of 03_branding. Please move those changes there and keep 04_changelog exclusive to modifying which server is used.

Is this bug still valid?
I am asking because this is dates 2012...
