Given your other comment (which I think may have been posted to the wrong thread):-
[E2fsprogs 1.44.0 now depends on dpkg build-profiles, which means that getting it backported to 14.04 LTS would require adjusting debian/control and debian/rules a bit. For 14.04 LTS, I'd urge consideration of going to e2fsprogs 1.43.9. This will get you most of the latest bug fixes, including some that could cause massive file system corruption and data loss (relative to e2fsprogs 1.42.x) in the right (wrong) circumstances.]

--are you saying that 1.39.9/1.44.0 ought to not only go to trusty-backports and xenial-backports, but also then into 'updates' to be 'pushed to all users' -- that needs some fiddly SRU process ?
I note Debian haven't pushed such an update back to jessie/wheezy either.

I (suspect) Canonical will require significant 'evidence'/'bug-reports' for backports to become 'updates' in this circumstance... HOPEFULLY 1.44.0 into bionic will be easier.

Hope that helps,
