I think someone should write this up in a post to ubuntu- de...@lists.ubuntu.com, and also offer to do the work. I'm not on the SRU team but I don't see on the face of it why this would be rejected in principle, assuming that compatibility is always maintained (for example commandline switches are never removed).
