Dear Tony, I am not very familiar with Ubuntu, but it seems to me that it is possible to request official backports: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports >From the Debian side, there is little we can do, but we sometimes prepare unofficial backports in our team's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~debian-med/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Have a nice day, Charles -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
