Alright, how does that look?

** Description changed:

  Version 3.0.5 uses an old Twitter API which is no longer functional, but
  this version is still the default in Quantal and earlier. These distros
  need to be updated to a working version.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ This bug renders Twitter services unusable from Bitlbee on 12.04 and previous 
Ubuntu releases. The proposed fix is to upgrade them to Bitlbee 3.2 or newer 
which use the new (now mandatory) Twitter API.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Anyone who already has Bitlbee linked to a Twitter account on these releases 
will find it not working since the API change, without doing anything 
themselves.
+ Those who don't already have it set up should be able to install the 
'bitlbee' package and follow the instructions on 
http://wiki.bitlbee.org/HowtoTwitter to link it to a Twitter account, although 
those steps will likely fail as well.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Updating to version 3.2 shouldn't break anything, although the Twitter UI is 
slightly different from previous versions (IDs shown in hex, more frequent 
updates, able to receive DMs).
