Referring back to my earlier comment regarding SRU, to update the Precise package (and get the updated version into the precise-updates repository), an SRU request would need filing. I went and talked with one of the SRU team, and they would want a version to exist in the current development version (Quantal) that builds and runs. Then, with that version, it can be SRU'd to Precise.

In short, Precise is in a sense 'frozen' on its current version (7.0.24+...) until a version exists that builds on Quantal (of which 7.0.27 does not).

I should point out that while I am BugSquad, the decision on Precise updating is up to the SRU team and the MOTUs, neither of which I am. Ideally, though, a version needs to exist in Quantal that builds an runs before SRU-ing to Precise, except on very rare circumstances (summarization of what the SRU team member told me). Given that UDS will be going on today and tomorrow, I am not going to poke the MOTUs or the SRU team about this until tomorrow.
