Hi Brent, the upstream for this program is Debian [1][2] for general bugs and/or feature requests you'd use those. While the Ubuntu bug tracker [3] would mostly be for issues due to the Ubuntu Delta or to ask for backports of fixes into active Ubuntu Releases as part of the SRU process [4]. Do these pointers help enough to enable you to take the next step reporting [5][6] this?
