No, you will not! Ubuntu decides what they ship and what not, in what
version, with whatever default compiler flags, with whatever additional
patches, ... 

They ship it, they handle it. They take the praise, they take the blame.
Period. 

If you wonder why I'm strict about this: going one step further, this
meant subscribing octave-maintainers to every major distribution's bug
tracker, just so 'we at least hear about the bugs'.
