We can't sync those source versions to << zesty, as it's (rightly) impossible to have identical-versioned binary packages with different contents in the archive, and I'm not taking it on faith that the zesty binaries would magically work in older releases.

Syncing to zenial and copying forward might have worked, but that ship has sailed.

What you need to do is to prepare SRU uploads that are backports with versions like:

1.11.13-1~16.04.0
1.11.13-1~16.10.0

Those should be identical to the version you want synced, but with a new changelog entry with the above version, and a "Backport to $series because $reason (LP: #thisbug)" entry. Similar things need to happen for the deps too.
