The original bug report was "The version of screen in X has a (serious)
issue".
The "response" was "Ok, we fixed it in Y".
The version in X, where the problem was originally encountered is still
broken and unfixed. Despite this fact, the bug report was closed.
I don't know how you can consider that fixed.
If Launchpad defines "Ubuntu" to be "only the latest version of ubuntu
and not any of the LTS versions", well... ok? I don't think that
definition is going to be too widely agreed on anywhere else, where
"ubuntu" means all the OS releases.

Is that not the EXPLICIT purpose of this ENTIRE bug tracker? To let the
appropriate people know that there is, I dunno, a bug? There is an
*specific* category for *just* this *one* piece of software.
WTF is the "Screen on Ubuntu" bug tracker for if NOT telling the people
involved in managing the screen package on Ubuntu that there is a
problem?
Furthermore, the *original* bug was explicitly described as occurring on
14.04, so there has never been, as far as I'm aware, the contention that
it affected any *other* platform.

As an aside, from the "7.2. Stable Release Updates" subheading on that
page:

I have *personally* had data loss from this bug, due to screen eating all my
processes when doing interactive
data processing and having screen segfault.
