Comment 47 for bug 342671

Previously it was not possible to install even updates which would require additional packages. So the linux-generic package could not pull in new kernel images. But this is fixed in Karmic.

If you are a volunteer and have got a demanding daily work an half year isn't much time.

For the 0.5 series we have got the possibilty to preview complex changes,but not to handle complex priviliges: If an user is only allowed to install,but not to remove packages he/she is allowed to install packages which remove other packages. This security issue won't be fixed before 0.6
