I'm not a debian developer, just a user. But I think the debian backports
team is pretty open to as rapid a development timeline as the package
maintainer (you) wants.
http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
The main thing that jumps out at me is:
"To guarantee an upgrade path from stable+backports to the next stable, the
package should be in testing." I also note that Jessie is still at 1.2.5.
The Condor/LIGO team is also interested in your RPM release. In fact, we
just installed 1.2.8 site-wide at the California Institute of Technology on
a cluster running Scientific Linux 6. Do you have a 2.x RPM that ought to
be compatible?

some suggestions on how to do that, I can try to submit as backport to
Debian 7.
