Well, I agree that there's no "need", but there's a reason for having easy to install fixes. We might as well ditch the repository structure and dig up dependencies for our programs anywhere on the internet. So yes, I'd say the app developer should, when (s)he can of course, upload the fix. Dismissively suggesting that it's just as fine otherwise is good in that it allows people to know how to fix it in the interim, but at the same time it encourages further degeneration of the already somewhat screwed up repository system we have going. I mean, half the good stuff isn't in Extras (and little is even in Testing relatively to Devel), and out of that, there's a bunch that's not even IN Devel, but instead you have to perform some convoluted search on here to find the right thread, search it for links, and then if you're lucky, there's a .deb or install shell script to do the work for you. All the hildon mods, some of the stock application tweeks/fixes, Navit (I think what's in the repo is a much earlier version), sunvox, gpSP (I think that's what it's called - the gameboy advanced emulator from Figa), and the latest three versions of Conky... As was the case for ApMeFo... dev of the newer version pushed it to Devel, but I haven't seen it show up yet. This is not good for ease/enjoyment of use, and horrible for the more casual users. And many programs just don't get noticed as a result. I wouldn't encourage that any more than it's already happened.
