I have several reasons for that! If I would use Drupal form the
sources, I wouldn't use Ubuntu.

Is the drupal package form feisty such a secure problem? If so, can
someone tell me who is the Ubuntu package mantainer for Drupal? Maybe
it is possible to build a backport package? I'm willing to help and to
test.
