Comment 8 for bug 1201516

What I meant by "unofficial" was a version of the Linux kernel that is not
provided by a given Ubuntu release's main repository. I do apologize,
though, for marking this bug as Invalid. The only reason why I did that was
because I was able to reproduce this with the kernel in main for Saucy in a
separate bug, which I thought would be easier to triage, given that many
people already have that kernel installed. No worries, though - I
understand everyone's concerns about my action, and I take it back. :)
