As discussed, there has been no analysis of the regression potential, or even of the exact packages that are supposed to benefit from this. In order to keep Ubuntu 8.04.1 on track, which will not include this package, I'm therefore removing it from hardy-proposed. Sorry, I don't think this package should ever have been accepted into -proposed with the available rationale. If a clearer case can be made for why this update is necessary, it can be reuploaded and tested after the point release.
