Comment 96 for bug 553162

Ok Martin, no problem. You weren't very keen on the SRU idea in December either, but you mentioned backports as a possibly passable option. To me, the branches that this bug report resulted in are principally fixes of annoying, buggy behavior. However, I'm sure there are good reasons for the restrictive SRU criteria.

At https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports I read:
"Please, for bugfixes, try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates first. We will reject any Backports requests for bugfixes if SRU has not been attempted."

I take it that I now can consider the SRU nomination in the making 'officially' rejected, and start checking out the backport process more closely. :-)
