Some old examples: pidgin/kopete in Hardy, OOO (now LibreOffice I guess?)

Lucid appears to be good for now or at least I don't have any complaints 
with the small selection of software that I use on Lucid. Right now, I 
am just 'whinging'. When I get serious, I'll whinge on -users and 
launchpad. But as you can see from the examples, sometimes staple stuff 
are just not given any attention once an LTS release no longer has any 
priority.
