Public bug reported:

I think this has been raised before, both in Brainstorm and on the back
of old bugs... and as community documentation.  However, it has also
been raised in Citrix's own discussion areas...

Namely, getting Citrix Receiver available for Ubuntu from the
repositories.

Would it be possible for more experienced personnel to look into the
possibility of Canonical liaising with Citrix so that the Receiver
client could be made available as a fully-supported app in the Partner
repository?  That way, bugfixes could be easily and quickly supplied in
the future... and all the dependencies can be handled quickly and
easily?  And most of all - safely?

IT would help with possible business deployments of Ubuntu.  But more
prosaically - apparently Citrix have been having issues with building
Debian packages - but they supply tarballs and RPMs.  Maybe Canonical
can help them in this regard?

Speaking from a personal front, I use Citrix Receiver when I work from
home - and keeping up to date with bugfixes would be a lot easier if I
could just let Update Manager handle that for me.

This was declined for Jaunty - could we get it in for Lucid?  Would help with 
business adoption...
