I also just added a bug in this regard.  If you are using something
before Feisty, please let me know and I'll add that to the bug.  I think
it may be a non-starter to get it fixed before Edgy though.  I'd
recommend upgrade to at least Feisty anyway, as it's stable now, and if
you're using this on a server only, not a workstation, I find Gutsy
server is without any problems to me so far, so it may be a good choice
to just upgrade your server to Gutsy.  Gutsy workstation isn't bad
either, but it's definitely in flux.

I suspect you may also be able to just get the .deb file on Gutsy and
just dpkg -i whatever on it and that will probably install it.  I
haven't done this, so perhaps others can provide more assuring speculation.
