Hi,

If the package was still present in quantal, this would be a normal
upload+backport, instead of an sru.  But since it's not in quantal, can
the backport already present in precise-backports be updated, please?

The bugs fixed are not "critical" in the sense that they do not break
the installation, but they are bad enough to worsen user experience.
Fixing the current backport would make it a more usable program for
precise users.  The three bugs are:

1) myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc/lsb-release
2) myunity depends on no user running unity-2d on the machine, regardless of which user is running it.
3) myunity depends on no user running any command with "myunity" as part of its command line.

  myunity depends upon DISTRIB_RELEASE being the second entry in /etc
  /lsb-release

Bug description:
  myunity incorrectly parses the lsb-release file in Main.module.  It makes assumptions about the order of lines.  Since lsb-release is a list of shell variables which can be sourced by other programs, perhaps it would be better to use the shell to parse it, rather than just cat it.  Something more like:
  SHELL "source /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_RELEASE" to Uversion
