Actually, I think the bug already does not affect Oneiric.  At least the code
in the .postinst is quite different and doesn't look like it'll cause the same
problem.  Also, I haven't seen double motds on my Oneiric VM.

I think the SRU process works fairly well, for what it's intended to do.  What
doesn't work as well IMHO, is getting bugs in older versions identified,
patched for all relevant versions, uploaded into the various -proposed
archives, tested, and followed through to landing.
