[Bug 1044795] [NEW] requestbackport tool missing from ubuntu-dev-tools package for Oneiric

[Rob Hills]

Public bug reported:

The Ubuntu Backports Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports)
says:

"The Ubuntu Backporters team recommends using the requestbackport tool
in the ubuntu-dev-tools package to file backport requests"

I have installed ubuntu-dev-tools package (on an Oneiric system via
"sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools").  However, I can't find the
requestbackport tool, and it's not mentioned in the package info in the
Ubuntu Software Centre.  Is the Wiki out of sync with the package, or am
I missing something really obvious here?

I have of course tried entering the command "requestbackport" in a
terminal and also "man requestbackport" returns "no manual entry for
requestbackport" whereas "man backportpackage" pulls up that package's
man page.
