There are 2 kinds of folks who run unstable:  developers/testers and
idiots.  The stable and testing branches work.  Unstable often does
not (or sets of packages do not).  Running unstable you're on your
own.  Obviously *buntu didn't do a good job of testing.  Don't blame
Debian for *buntu's stupidity.
