I doubt it's worth the effort to get an exception.  If it can't be put
into Hardy, I imagine it would be possible to release the package
later as a bug fix.  Plus, as I mention in the bug report, one can
compile from source.

Does not look like it:

Can you recommend any links which give a birds-eye view of how bugs
get fixed?  I see a lot of process pages[1], but they are very
detailed.  I imagine it's something like this:

- user discovers bug in package foo
- user reports bug on launchpad
- launpad notifies Ubuntu package maintainers
- Ubuntu package maintainers notify Debian package maintainers
- Debian package maintainers notify developers
- developers fix bug, push out new release, and notify Debian package
maintainers
- Debian package maintainers create new Debian package and notify
Ubuntu package maintainers
- Ubuntu package maintainers create new Ubuntu package and update launchpad
- user is notified by launchpad, runs apt-get upgrade, and gets fixed package
- everyone celebrates with a beer or two.  :)

How close am I to how things really work?

Thanks in advance.
