Right, which is why Banshee in Ubuntu is marked as Fix Committed (meaning
the fix has been committed to the source tree of the project—Banshee
itself.)

Launchpad tracks everything. So you'll see the Banshee line at the top,
which is coming from the upstream bug, marked Fix Released. The developers
use an external bugtracker, Bugzilla, and only see their bug as being fixed.
No frustration for them.

So if I want to have this thing fixed for me personally I'll just have

Yes, only if you want the fix in the immediate short-term. My guess is that
it will be fixed pretty quickly since it's been committed (the Banshee
maintainers do a great job packaging fixes and new versions).

If you're inclined to install the development version, you can find
instructions here: http://banshee-project.org/download/development. If you
run into trouble, please don't post here, but feel free to seek help
