Hi, I remember this was a problem with some packages a while back in Debian. It has now been fixed, but I don't know about Ubuntu.
BTW, may I ask what all the fuss is about Ubuntu? Why are so many people so hyped about it and prefer it over Debian? Note: this is not bait for distro wars, just genuine curiosity. Excuse the tangential OT!
