The hold up is due to a current kernel in -proposed. By policy, a kernel package must have been in -proposed for one full week for testing purposes before it can be pushed to -updates. The stable release maintainer is working to get the current one out to -updates, but if the new kernel with this fix is moved to -proposed it will overwrite the current package there, resetting the timer.

Essentially, the fix will get out there for karmic eventually, but as a side effect of our duty to ensure that a stable release is not destabilized by updates the fix may take a bit longer. If you are anxious, you can find the fix in the kernel team's pre-prososed ppa:
