That's a different issue altogether.

This bug has been around always. It's not like it just popped up in breezy.
Since it is not a regression, it's not considered that important. Rebuilding 12
kernels on 3 architectures and forcing everyone (even the majority not affected
by this bug) to update a 20meg .deb is not considered feasible, nor ideal.

I'm not saying I like this, but that's the way it is right now. After dapper is
released, it is my intention to make things easier for upgrades to get to users
post-release.
