Martin, I just applied this patch to mate-terminal 1.8.1+dfsg1-4 in Ubuntu MATE 15.04. It applied cleanly, the package had been built fine after that, and then I've installed it and got the alternate scroll working.
Your PPA for Trusty seems to have the same version of mate-terminal, so the patch should apply cleanly there as well, no?
