Comment 2 for bug 1634465

Thank you for your report.

We don't treat an issue affecting third party repositories as bugs in Ubuntu. But in this case the versioned dependency can be dropped anyway, so we can do that for you at least in the development release. So I'll leave this open but with Importance: Low.

I'm not sure if this qualifies for an update in Xenial. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for our policies, rationale and procedure. Perhaps we could bundle it in other updates though, if others agree that it is a no-op with no regression risk. So I'll create a task for Xenial and leave it open.

There are two "proper" solutions for Ubuntu. One is to package it in the distribution the traditional way so that it is properly integrated. The other is for Codership to ship a snap, which untangles what they want to ship as an external third party with what the distribution ships.
