Comment 22 for bug 318360

Furthermore, people without backports modules will have a crash on every shutdown; that's a pretty serious issue. I'm just a user, so I don't know about bug fixing policy, but installing another package does not seem like a fix to me. It's a work around. The system shouldn't crash just because I happen not to have the right package installed. (Especially since presumably some people won't know that they have to install backports modules to get rid of the crashes.)

Just my two cents.
