The issue for now is clear: you can't let your, say, laptop to anybody

and maybe change your password or modify your system. It can simply be
used to read confidential files, like personal mail, not like military

Wouldn't logic dictate that if their latest release was for bugfixes,
that they would recommend an update? Or do developers update software
just for the heck of it?

Emmet Hikory spake thusly:
If an issue is
encountered with a package, it is much preferable to report it to
Ubuntu, as it may or may not affect the upstream package (and the
Ubuntu developers will forward the report if it does).
I often report it to both Ubuntu and Upstream. Things tend to get

I am sorry for the LONG mail, but I had no volunteer time this week and this

Toby Smithe:
There seems to be some confusion here: regardless of the content of the
version string, bug fixes from upstream will have been ported back to
the current Ubuntu package. The two releases are functionally identical,
the only difference is the content of a string.

The only extra security measure I think is worth debating is full disk
