Hi Timo, thanks for looking at the sync request,

That's true, 1.8.0 isn't just a bugfix release. I still think that syncing pushpin 1.8.0 and zurl 1.5.1 would be beneficial for 16.04 LTS: The intention of the sync request is mainly to have a consistent codebase for long term support. If 16.04 releases with a version based on Qt4, the increased effort to backport bug fixes could mean that fixes are delayed, or that less important fixes won't be backported, at all. I have built both packages for debian unstable, jessie and wheezy, as well as ubuntu trusty, vivid and wily. If you think it will help getting the newer versions into 16.04 LTS, I can install Xenial and create the logs requested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_Exceptions. But please note that, as a debian developer, I don't have the required ubuntu infrastructure readily available. So I'd rather not do that work if it's unlikely to get the packages synced at all.
