Comment 11 for bug 1109283

I am largely unfamiliar with the Ubuntu SRU process so I'm contributing where I can here, please excuse my lack of understanding. I am upstream in this case so I'll write from that point of view.

The existing 12.04 package is already *broken* which is the whole reason for this SRU. It was demo-ware and never worked properly. As Andres says, "Most of the times it did not work well out of the box and decreases the user experience". Anyone who is really using it in anger on 12.04 upgraded to the PPA version ages ago.

I'll repeat that - *existing installations are already broken*. This SRU went to the techboard because it was a necessarily big change to fix the old mess (which should never have been uploaded in the first place).

Note that the quantal SRU does not have this technicality as it already works in the new way.

This should be released ASAP because otherwise new users on 12.04 will get a very bad impression of MAAS.
