Comment 47 for bug 281732

I'm not sure I understand 100% of what Steve explained. But if it was fixed in Karmic before (as it was here) and is broken now (as it is here as well), then I can't see why we aren't able to rebreak it so it works again. :)

For me it seems rather strange to break the functionality on purpose because kernel upstream likes to see it broken and calls the working state "a bug".

Any clarification on this would be welcome, including a way to fix it again.
