My point excatly, I also work at a university, and we have also
specifically chosen a LTS version  :)

Hope it's not the Dapper story all over again, once again! Once the distro 
ships some developers and maintainer stop caring about it, and only work on the 
next dist. This is perhaps acceptable in a ordinary dist, that for most people 
will be replaced after 6 months. But a LTS dist targets a different crowd 
(companies, universities, schools ...), that doesn't have that option. 
If I were to change dist every 6 months, the faculty would crucify me :)
And tools like hobbit, that are of particular use in large deployments, _must_ 
be supported until the next LTS dist comes along.

If no fix is available, thats one thing. But there is a fix for this,
and it have been released for the next dist. Why then not for the LTS
dist? I mean Hardy isn't even 6 months old, and it is _supposed_ to be
supported until 2011.

I would feel a lot better if a maintainer of the package would comment here. 
(Or at bug #227189)
Even if it is to tell us that there is some problem  that prevents them from 
making a hardy fix. 

Just let us know that they are aware of the problem.
