I'm not speaking for Canonical, I'm not even using Ubuntu.  I'm only
watching this bug because I am one of the upstream kernel driver
developers (ieee1394; Carl's report was loosely related to 1394).

If there is a possibility that a bug is an upstream bug --- and if your
distributor has no manpower to look at bugs and to get in touch with
upstream themselves --- then file a report with upstream.  Best would be
of course if one of you could test an unmodified kernel.org kernel for
your report; ideally the latest release*.  (Note, reports about kernels
with proprietary drivers inserted into them do not have much value for
bugzilla.kernel.org because such kernels cannot really be debugged.)

*) Does Ubuntu have packages of vanilla kernels?
