I was going to ignore this, but seeing the change in description, I
can't resist:

Before my comment, the bug was last touched in 2006-07-29, i.e. 2.5 years ago.
The original bug reporter, with all due respect to your high karma, never 
bothered to come back every 6 months to just post a 1-line comment saying "this 
is still present in Gutsy/Hardy/Intrepid" etc.

I realize that reproducing one specific bug might seem trivial. However, you're 
making one wrong assumption here:
The reporter's time is scarce and valuable. The triager's time is infinite and 
cheap. Triagers should install ALL packages and reproduce all 45k bugs in 
launchpad, instead of asking reporters if the issue is still there.

It's just my opinion, that the above assumption is wrong. From
experience (just yesterday I touched ~100 bugs like this) most people
will just respond "No, it was fixed some time last year, you can close
it", or they will never respond.

However, if you feel that Bugsquad has lots of triagers, and too few
reporters, so we should leave the reporters alone and load the triagers
with work, feel free to continue this strategy.

Goodnight, and good luck
