Bug description:
Looking at the various packages in the custom version of Ubuntu for the dell
mini, it appears that many packages are outdated, when compared with the latest
official version of hardy. Some bugs have been already filed for specific
packages:
kernel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-mini/+bug/299708
firefox: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-mini/+bug/299706
However, the list is long. While hardy benefits to continue updates on several
packages, I have yet to see them ported to the custom version of hardy for the
dell-mini. While new features are not necessary, I am very worried about the
many security vulnerabilities and stability fixes that the mini is not getting.
Is there a particular reason why these fixes are not ported back to the
mini-Ubuntu (besides the customization for the small screen)? Is the
development for the mini-Ubuntu currently undergoing? Would it be better to go
for the official 8.04 or even 8.10, which instead offer an active support?
