I was all set to rebuke you when I looked at the links...  Wow...  You 
are absolutely correct that this is a Bug 1 problem.  The problem is 
that we have a tendency to work on problems that we have, and set aside 
problems that we don't see.  This can leave some holes in the final 
product, and this is one of them.

So in the spirit of Bug 1, let me offer a patch for Bugs like this...

First, nm-pptp not installed by default is not a bug.  It is a design 
decision...  So you can not fix it through bug reporting. (Whishlist is 
the correct category for it)  But you can fix it with blueprints, and 
developer summits.  Look at these blueprints... 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu?searchtext=pptp  Taking charge 
of some of these, and creating a plan for raising the visibility of the 
problem goes on blueprints.  Look at 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-bug-workflow 
as an example of a good blueprint.  Also, but taking on pptp, we also 
triage and combine all the pptp bugs floating out there, and take some 
work off the devs. (as defined in that blueprint)  That will increase 
there support.

If you want to do this, contact me directly.  We have 15 days to get the 
launchpad stuff in order, and I can attend the UDS to promote it.  I can 
help and promote, but I do not have the time right now to lead this kind 
of project.
