Before we can process this backport, there's some verification work that needs to be done.

First, in order to ensure that there's a valid upgrade path away from Lucid, drush will definitely also need to be backported to Maverick.

Second, the backports process requires some basic verification that the packages will work once backported. I've uploaded test backports from natty to lucid and maverick to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/backports-tests). Please verify that they successfully build, then install them and ensure that they run. This must be done for all releases.

Finally, drush has a single reverse-dependency:
> mingo:~ evan$ schroot -c lucid-amd64 -- apt-cache rdepends drush
> drush
> Reverse Depends:
> aegir-provision
> aegir-provision
> mingo:~ evan$ schroot -c maverick-amd64 -- apt-cache rdepends drush
> drush
> Reverse Depends:
> aegir-provision

Please verify that all reverse-dependencies continue to work with the backported drush package on all releases.

Feel free to change the status of the bug to "Confirmed" once this testing has been completed.
