I don't really think that's a fair criticism, Tanner, given that the
original bug post notes that there was an extant upstream patch -- an
upstream version that the Ubuntu roadmap had already committed to
merging in a future release, thus making a fix in the current release a
backport at best.

What complicates the situation further is that the Canonical patching
policy is pretty clear that post-release patches will be security-only,
as the feature freeze for Edgy had passed when this bug was filed.
While it was clearly an important issue at the time, and I appreciate
your work in filing this bug to fix the then-current version of Ubuntu,
this patch was not security-related, so the expectation of having that
bug handled for feature-addition in the same release was unreasonable.

"won't fix" is fine and expected for this bug in Edgy; "upstream fix" is
appropriate for future releases.  Thanks to the triage team for making
their way around here, but what luck, that the upstream codebase has
already fixed this issue!
