I think 1.5.6 may be suitable for upload now as it doesn't appear to
have major feature changes from Ubuntu's perspective, so have been
checking this in more detail to make sure.

I see 1.5.6-1 is prepared in Debian alioth git and tagged but not
uploaded yet, so I've been looking into that as a candidate to upload to
Ubuntu.

>From a packaging perspective, the effective diff in
/lib/systemd/system/memcached.service from 1.5.4-1ubuntu3 to 1.5.6-1 is
as follows:

-MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true
-ProtectKernelModules=true
-ProtectKernelTunables=true
-ProtectControlGroups=true
-RestrictRealtime=true
-RestrictNamespaces=true

I wonder if these changes are intentional. Perhaps I could do a bump to
1.5.6 by updating the upstream version in Ubuntu only to avoid them for
now.

Examining the debdiff of built binaries, there are no other functional changes
evident (which should cover packaging changes).

>From a source perpsective, I've been looking at upstream commits between
1.5.4 and 1.5.6. Following examination I'm satisfied that none of them
result in feature changes from the perspective of Ubuntu users. Upstream
commit 7141922 (systemd instancing support & rpm build improvements)
might have been a feature change but doesn't appear as a change in the
final package.

Upstream commit 7f06ee8 (extstore: revise automove algorithm) seems to
be the most extensive refactoring to me, but is an internal-only change.
