I feel that you've misunderstood my request entirely. I'm not trying to
report an issue, just requesting help understanding how the resulting
package relates to version-controlled source. It's possible that I have the
wrong source entirely.
Your comments seem to indicate that you believe I've clobbered my
installation with something other than the standard ubuntu package. I
attempt to show otherwise below. I'm pretty confident that the source on
disk ('LIBPL') represents the package that all trusty users have. My aim is
to track down what (version-controlled) change caused this function to
change between precise and trusty.
