I know the policy and it allows exceptions (no matter if this exact case isn't listed there but it should IMO) but due to the HUGE amount of bug fixes and the tiny amount of new features was that mikala considered it was worth an update rather than a backport. If there where few bug fixes then it could be possible to cherry pick them and patch the package available on mga 1 but in this case it isn't. Also AFAIK, the policy is not something written in stone and up to discussion if there's a case for it. -- Juancho
