Bug Description
Binary package hint: mit-scheme
Bug #288000 (dependency on nonexistent libltdl3) and bug #217792 (AppArmor blocks mit-scheme from allocating memory near 0) apply to Intrepid as well as Jaunty. Thanks to #288000, the package is not installable on Intrepid, and even if it were installable, it doesn't run under ubuntu-standard thanks to #217792. This was fixed in Jaunty in bug #339449.
Since the package is more or less completely broken, instead of generating the minimal patch (which would be very time-consuming), I propose uploading the same version that was uploaded to Jaunty for bug #339449 to Intrepid.
As with bug #339449, I believe the regression potential is essentially 0, since it's hard to regress from an uninstallable package.

My 2c as MOTU-SRU is this reminds me of the Azureus situation in Gutsy -- it's a completely broken package and for that matter introducing the Jaunty version to Intrepid is an appropriate action to get it back into sane state. I see no risk for regression.
Given the unusual nature of this SRU I'd like to get another opinion before calling it ACKed though.
