I'm not sure what you mean by "upstream tributary", but if the fix exists in the main Ubuntu packaging branch used by the desktop team (ie. Vcs-Git in debian/control points to it) then that makes sense, as it was in this case. If you mean it's just fixed upstream somewhere, then that doesn't make sense - Launchpad's bug tracker expects to have a separate task to track upstream status if you want that.

However, from an SRU perspective, I would expect an upload to the development release *before* an SRU is uploaded. Sometimes we make concessions (eg. during a development release freeze), but I don't think a sponsorship delay qualifies. The sponsor should be able to sponsor to the development release first, so there's no reason not to do it.

I see it's there now, but please could you adjust your processes to make sure that in the normal case, this happens? This would save me reviewing the SRU twice.
