I don't think that this patch is appropriate for an SRU. SRU's are supposed to fix "high-impact bugs", such as "severe regressions" and "loss of user data", and are specifically not supposed to be used as a mechanism to provide new features. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When)
Backports, on the other hand, are for including "significant new features", so I think that backporting grace from Natty to Lucid (and Maverick) is pretty clearly the way to go here.
I'm going to turn this into a backports bug instead of an SRU bug.
