I don't care. I have packaged it for Debian. What Ubuntu does is Ubuntu's.

But you have to live with the following facts:
- TeX Live 2012 hit Ubuntu *after* the release of 11.04
- Updates are normally confined to security updates
- 11.10 will contain TL 2012

THat is life ... you can always install TeX Live from tug.org!

Security?
Stability?

Nobody said newest software!

Hahahahaha ... Ubuntu maintainers? They take what is in Debian and add
a few fixes for Ubuntu. The last contribution from Ubuntu was poppler
patches long time ago.

No, Ubuntu users have to live with what I am packaging, and if it is
too late for Ubuntu, it is too late for Ubuntu. Nothing will change.

Best wishes

Norbert
