From reading the Debian bug #756479 cited above, it appears there was considerable impact to users whose Nagios monitors depended on this feature when upgraded to 2.15. Some users of NRPE are customers of Canonical's, one of whom I support as a Dedicated Support Engineer. This customer would like to monitor its relatively new Ubuntu/Juju/Openstack clouds from its existing Nagios master which utilizes this feature for some of their check_nrpe calls. Would Canonical/Ubuntu reconsider Debian's decision with regard to the build for Ubuntu? This would allow customers to use Canonical-supported packages and make their own decision whether to accept the security risks of enabling the feature.
