Don't get me wrong, I'm not a purist at all. I would also be happier if this 'bug' (the kernel developers probably don't think it is a bug) wasn't introduced in the kernel.
Why is this kernel in ubuntu? No idea, only the ubuntu kernel team can answer that question for sure. An educated guess: probably every new kernel release fixes more hardware problems than it creates. So a newer kernel probably works on more computers... (this is just a guess). @ezechiel: As far as I can see, the coolpix 2000 is already in unusual_devs.h since 30 Nov 2005 09:16:00.
