Again, you really need to be talking to the Ubuntu people about this, 
not us.  It's like complaining on the Apache list that Fedora is 
shipping an old version with an exploit.

I understand that it's a culture shock coming to Linux from the "one 
company is responsible for 90% of the software we run" world of 
Windows, but this is how it works.  We have exactly as much control 
over what Ubuntu ships as you do, no more and no less (actually, 
probably less since most of us aren't even running Ubuntu.)  

Hardy is still in its desktop support phase, so if you report the bug 
in the IDE packager and say it's been fixed upstream, maybe they'll 
update their repositories.  If no Ubuntu users report the bug, 
though, it'll never get fixed.
