Hi Liam,

Dimitry has already updated the bug with the correct statuses. There is
nothing more to do at the moment other than wait. Ubuntu 17.10 will be
released next week, and only severe bugs will be fixed in the meantime.

Once upstream do the next release, normally Debian will package it, and
then it will automatically be synced to the next Ubuntu Development
release. But because in this case, there is currently a difference/delta
between the Debian version and the Ubuntu version (you can see "ubuntu"
in the package version), it will be necessary to do a merge. Read more
about it here:

Regards,

Ross
