I'm drawing special attention to this bug. The package version referenced earlier by a triager is not available in Debian even. I'm going to disagree with the triager and ask one that our bug controllers to escalate this.
skellat@EdmundFitzgerald:~$ seeded-in-ubuntu parole parole (from parole) is seeded in: ubuntustudio: dvd xubuntu: daily-live parole-dev (from parole) is seeded in: xubuntu: supported The triager incorrectly labelled this as "Low" as from the Ubuntu perspective it is a non-core application but for us it is core as it is seeded. If somebody can take a look at the other issues in the original bug complaint, we've got some major issues to consider. My work schedule continues to not permit me to have more direct influence or participation, alas. As such this referral is submitted for else to pursue.
