*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: popularity-contest
Popularity Contest is (at least in hardy) enabled by default.
It now has a dependency with ubuntu-standard, and no menu item in "services".
This means that switching it off cannot be done via the GNOME UI.
There are several reasons why a user or administrator would like to switch it
off.
I see no reason for the dependency with ubuntu-standard, except in order to
FORCE users to enable it when using Ubuntu.
Making it recommended for ubuntu-standard, instead of a hard dependency would
enable me to uninstall it using synaptic package manager.
** Affects: popularity-contest (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Visibility changed to: Public
