Ubuntu normally merges packaging changes from Debian continuously
whilst the development is open up to the Debian Import Freeze /
Feature Freeze. Which for the Disco Dingo release was on 21st of
February.
I think your patch was uploaded into debian on the 22nd of February.
And whilst we do fix, merge and upload things post Feature Freeze it's
progressively more conservative / higher priority things.
I am afraid, that bugfix, possibly missed the 19.04 cycle by a day, effectively.
Once we open EE cycle for development, I'm sure it will be merged into
Ubuntu then =/

Sorry about that.

Right way to submit patches for Ubuntu packages

[Jonathan Behrens]

I've been trying to get a two line patch
 merged for
`gdb-multiarch`. Debian accepted it almost right away, but subsequent
releases for Ubuntu haven't included it. About a month ago I tried
submitting directly on Launchpad but that has seemingly been ignored as
well. Have I submitted the patch incorrectly? Or is there some reason that
it shouldn't be merged?

Thanks,
Jonathan

libgnomeui-0 isn't already installed.
