The vast majority of packages in universe are copied, unmodified and
unreviewed, from Debian, in the hopes that they will be useful to Ubuntu
users.

If there are severe functional issues with the yggdrasil package, they have
not been reported either to the Debian maintainer at
https://bugs.debian.org/src:yggdrasil, or in Ubuntu at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yggdrasil using the 'ubuntu-bug'
command.

Nothing in the packaging of yggdrasil 0.4.7-1 changes the path of either the
config file or the Unix socket from the upstream defaults.

You are free to use upstream binary packages if they are more to your
liking.  Such packages are not endorsed by Ubuntu or supported by the Ubuntu
community.
