Sandro, I don't think your comments are especially helpful, sort of standing at the side of the discussion sniping.

The package is broken, hence not useful, without specific developer knowledge that most users don't have. That is the point. Fixing it would be a good idea (duh!), but while it's being fixed (and especially given that it's /not/ being fixed), then it should be removed.

Developers and other advanced users who require it know where to get it, and how to install and configure it so that it works for them. They are not the ones who will fall foul of the broken-ness. I didn't think Ubuntu was a distribution that was geared towards this sort of user.

Zooko summed it up well enough, are any Ubuntu release-team developers reading this?
