Can you file this on launchpad? I know the system sent it to the users
mailing list, but it never gets worked if it stays here. 

The right place to file bug reports is:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu

That will give the developers a chance to see if they can fix it.

Thanks.

By the way, there is already a bug filed to have that debian patch
merged to Ubuntu which will resolve this for you
