*sigh* I have begun the backports process. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
What this means is that I am creating a PPA of packages that are needed for KiCad and are already in 14.10 (utopic), but rejiggering the packages so they're meant for 14.04 (trusty). If I can find a few savvy volunteers here who use their 14.04 machines regularly and also want to test this for me, I can propose it be included in official backports. Hopefully this goes as smoothly as getting wxWidgets 3.0 working on this week's OS X release. (Sometimes I feel we spend more time working on our dependencies than on KiCad!)
