I can't believe Canonical is going to allow this bug to ship on the latest Ubuntu release available when steam goes live.
I know you have a problem anticipating how your actions will be percieved in the blogosphere, and are regularly caught with your foot in your mouths, but let me give you a prediciton:

This bug is going to make Ubuntu a laughing stock.

Hundreds perhaps thousands of brand new users will install Ubuntu for the first time to try steam out when the Valve announce Steam. And their first experience will be :

"OK guys,

Switch to a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1).

    Login as your username.

    Install linux source (sudo apt-get install linux-source) and headers (sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic)....."

You do have a P.R. department, don't you?
