Comment 5 for bug 1457753

Then again, if we wanted Debian, we would just install Debian.

The problem as i understand it was that Ubutnu is offering this feature via GUI, but a component needed for the GUi in Ubuntu to work is missing. Software is therefore not acting as expected or as indicated that it is supposed to act. Therefore in my opinion it is a bug.

The solution to that (and to keep it in line with Debian) would be to offer the install of missing package when the user would try to perform the desired action.
