I'm sorry you're having problems. If I may, I'd like to adjust your expectations. Since this doesn't look like this has a real impact on any Ubuntu users not bound by their own policies, I don't expect that anyone will prioritise it, so it is unlikely to get fixed. If my understanding here is wrong, maybe you could clarify? If you'd like to contribute a fix yourself, then we'd welcome that regardless. We can help guide you, but we'd expect volunteers to provide all the necessary legwork. A fix to a stable release is subject to our policies documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates (and the reasoning for our requirements are documented there too). It's not clear to me from your bug report if the change you want would qualify under our policy. If you are prepared to do the legwork, I'd start by considering our policy to save effort if it does turn out that your proposed change would not qualify. Hope that helps, Robie
