Given that the Debian maintainer has said he'd fix this and there is not currently an Ubuntu diff, I'd wait for Debian to fix it rather than do an Ubuntu upload now that would require a manual merge (or at least manual sync request) when the fixed Debian is uploaded. Then I'd revist after Debian import freeze if needed.
