I set this bug from fix released to won't fix. The reasoning behind this is documented in bug #488274. Basically while helping on (or a few other user-space applications) it breaks firmware loading via udev. And it is deprecated for quite a while now, too. We will revert that change for Karmic soon and it will be deactivated in Lucid.
