Please backport gnome 3.6 to precise

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/precise-backports/+bug/1165692

Hi, as you can see in the title, i want to propose my idea about the current LTS 12.04 . With the version 13.04 of Ubuntu, there will be no longer in the future versions Unity- Compiz and others components and the time of support this version is too short ( 9 months ) . So, why don't you backport Gnome 3.6.3 and Unity 7 in Ubuntu 12.04.3?? This update will come out in August right? So there are 4 months after ubuntu 13.04 to fix other bugs of them (gnome and unity) . There is also another backport that i propose, the backport of the kernel 3.8.0.x ; it has increased the performance of the computers, for me it could be very good to see in the next update of the 12.04 LTS. What about it?

I'm experimenting on this task in c42-backport [https://launchpad.net/~dirk-computer42/+archive/c42-backport-gnome3]
(see also https://bugzilla.computer42.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2360)

I got stuck on "Bug 2376 – unable to build glib / Unmet build dependencies: python:any"
The message in the build log is:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: python:any (>= 2.5)
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Has somebody a hint how to fix / work around this problem?
