(Get the code!)
This is why we don't explicitly trust Wikis or Debian.
Let me clarify the issue: The issue isn't what the Debian wiki says. The issue is the 1.1.19 package and what was actually in it.
If 1.1.19 in Debian never had Stub Status, and Debian never intended Stub Status in 1.1.19 then this is an Invalid bug because your research only shows what's in 1.2.1 which isn't going to be included in Precise as Precise is pretty much version fixed to 1.1.19.
If Debian included the stub status code in 1.1.19 and never activated it, that's an easy SRU to fix the issue if it was intended for inclusion but oversight caused it to not be included. But if what I said before this is true, and 1.1.19 never actually had Stub Status and never was supposed to in Debian, then to add the module would require some thorough discussion with the MOTUs to try and get an "Add additional features" patch into Precise without backports, and for that I'd need to know more about why Stub Status is needed, what it does, why it's necessary, etc.
Data on 1.2.1 won't help, ever, as 1.1.19 is what Precise will have from now until it's EOL (excluding backports). We need data about 1.1.19 which I will find tomorrow when I dissect 1.1.19 that was in Debian..
