This aside, bug #311732 seems like a pretty significant bug in a package
that is still in main as of jaunty. Perhaps someone who has the hardware in
question would be willing to sponsor that fix as an SRU?
Also, the original MIR for thinkfinger
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thinkfinger/+bug/194458)
describes this as a stopgap, with the intent that this be replaced later by
"fprint". Is that still the right thing to do?
