@Alexia: I guess the justification for this decision is, that, according to the release schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule), Intrepid is past final freeze now. Since this is neither a security problem nor a release critical bug it's sadly not going to be in 8.10.
While I agree that the workaround as such (copy file from a to b) is simple, the required knowledge (that the workaround is, in fact, a simple file copy) is not easy to come by. When I first went looking for information on how to enable my table in Hardy I found a lot of outdated (mis-)information. I'm quite convinced that a lot of people will use said information for Intrepid unless they happen across this bug report.
