I just filed Debian bug #518804
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518804) about the
libctl issue. I also filed LP #339618
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/libctl/+bug/339618) against
Ubuntu to try and get it fixed a little faster for Jaunty. I'm not sure
yet whether I need to make a case for a freeze exception to get this
into Jaunty.

LP #339449 has already gotten the approval from the Ubuntu release team
to get a feature freeze exception, so now I just have to find someone to
sponsor the upload for me.
