Public bug reported:
As confirmed by the build logs at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/66810099/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-
amd64.libmtp_1.0.6-2_BUILDING.txt.gz and
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/66809838/buildlog_ubuntu-
natty-i386.libmtp_1.0.6-2_BUILDING.txt.gz (I'm sure the others as well),
mtp-probe is built, and even installed (evidently with the aim of
including it in the package).
However, it's not included in any of the produced .deb artifacts.
This results in MTP-based devices not being easily from Natty (Galaxy
tab, Xoom, Galaxy Nexus, etc), since the udev rules installed with the
libmtp8 package directly and expressly reference /lib/udev/mtp-probe
(this would suggest that the right place for it is the libmtp8 package,
not mtp-tools).
Furthermore, users are required to implement convoluted workarounds
involving fuse, mtpfs, and manual creation of udev rules. This can be
cumbersome and risky as well for non-power users.
The fix is simple: include the built executable in the package (it's
already being built anyway...just not packaged!).
