>No chance of getting 3.0.1 into 16.10? Even though the current version
is unusable?

Note I'm talking in general terms here, but usually packages are changed
as little as possible once an Ubuntu version has been released. The main
exceptions are Stable Release Updates [1], these are important issues
with known small, minimal patches or Backports [2], where a newer
version is made available, though in the -backports archive not the main
one.

I don't know how these processes are affected when it comes to fixes for
packages which doesn't work at all, though it might be worth a shot. :)

In any case, one main requirement is that the fix needs to be in the
current development version of Ubuntu before it is applied to older
releases. This is to be able to test and ensure that it works as
expected before introducing it in older releases.

Spyder 3.0.1+dfsg1-1 has been synced to Ubuntu now [3], but it looks
like it hasn't moved from -proposed to the main archive for unknown
reasons. Though once it has landed in Ubuntu Zesty properly, someone
might look into whether it can be added to 16.10 as well.
