Perhaps even better talk with the Debian people to find a route into the Debian repository, which then automatically gets to be part of Ubuntu and Mint.
In the bigger picture yes, but as in this case it's Ubuntu that's blacklisted the package, probably best to go straight to them.
There may also be a benefit in having a direct relationship with Ubuntu because their more frequent release cycle may make it easier to ensure the most up-to-date package is out there. IIRC their relationship with most packages in Debian is to take a snapshot of Sid at a particular point in time, so if you've got a new release of LDC after that snapshot is taken, it may be passed over unless you go to Ubuntu directly.
