Hi Ross,
Why go through the headache of getting something backported when you can just
create a ppa for all supported releases and one just add's a ppa?
Regards,
Jonathan

I think you're mixing up backports & stable. Stable releases only
accept security fixes & small changes. Backports provides a path for
selectively providing newer versions of software to stable. It's an
opt-in repo. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
(The same is true for Debian.)
It shouldn't be too hard to get new backports accepted - the hardest
piece is probably finding someone to do the testing.
