It mustn't break anything at all, I'm afraid. So if the current jaunty/karmic version does not work at all, then SRUing is safe. But if only some use cases are broken, there is a regression potential, and the bar is much higher. This one looks like it has a trivial workaround, and isn't completely broken. On old releases (jaunty, karmic) we get very little testing, so catching regressions is very hard. That's why we stick very closely to the SRU rules for the older releases.
