i too can not understand why they keep bugged software in the repos if the solution is known and confirmed to work. software should be patched & bug fixed or removed from the repo.

The package uck (http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/uck) is in the "universe" repo. As such it's community maintained. If you think they need help get on the MOTUs (ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com) and offer a hand.

Hasn't it always been this way? It's one of the problems of having a central repository, as per the video below, we should be putting the ability to update their software in the creators hands, not taking control from them.

Isn't that why PPAs were set up? The standard repo is there for devs to get their stuff into the stable mainstream Ubuntu, and they can offer a PPA on the side to offer their latest releases and get testers easily.
