It seems odd that the bug reported (and all duplicates) talk heavily
about the problem on Edgy, yet Dapper LTS (_long term support_) isn't
mentioned as even being looked at.

I would think that the emphasis would be on the long term supported
version of the OS, with related issues being tied to future release
versions.  It appears (according to the launchpad communications) to be
just the opposite.

Also, I read through the 21 page forum entry regarding this, then looked
up various other incantations of this problem, yet didn't see any
mention of it at Ubuntu... I would think that some sort of special
notation should be given to it so that the list, forums, launchpad, etc
aren't flooded with messages.  I would also think that, since the
developers/maintainers have been duly notified, they would be able to
respond with a tentative target window for getting this repaired and
getting the repo's up to speed...
