Comment 4 for bug 508739

One could ask the debian maintainer to publish a new version in debian:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/poker-eval.html

And then ask for a sync in next ubuntu version Lucid, by filling a new bug report:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

Or one can add the patch to the current ubuntu packages, in debian/patches using cdbs-simplepatchsys and attach a debdiff to this ticket.
