Just after I reported the bug I caught a conversation in #ubuntu-bugs stating that kcontrol was (to paraphrase) being abandoned in favor of system settings. Please feel free to submit a debdiff and assign the bug to Jonathan Riddell, as was suggested to me in the channel. I'm with you - I'm not ready to give up on kcontrol until system settings is ready to take its place (and maybe not even then).
