proper procedure regarding bug reports

The mysterious guy from Portugal (myself) is one of the thousand mysterious
guys which participates on Free Software and Ubuntu.
I wish you the best luck finding someone "who matters" .

About the problem which you have reported, and per the discussion we had on
the bug my opinion is very clear, Ubuntu should be secure by default, it
shouldn't ask you for authorization to be secure.

Since so far you are the only person reporting the problem, let me ask, what
is the impact of the problem ?
What solution do you propose ?

There are plenty of bugs affecting mysterious guys and blocking them from
using a piece of equipment or performing a specific task.
In my opinion filling a bug for something that does not work as you expect
is reasonable, trying to get more attention when there is no clear impact,
is not.

Best regards,
