So I'd consider this will end up as Xenial SRU and depending on your counsel into cloud-archive as Jon asked you.

Given the SRU policy (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) a fix should go into the Development release first (currently zesty) and become SRUs from there.

The fix upstream is just two days old and not released yet.

Currently Ubuntu has no delta over the Debian version which means we should report the issue to Debian, fix it there and pick it up into Zesty on a merge/sync of their latest version.
Your backported patch applies (almost) cleanly to the latest version in Debian/Ubuntu, so I'd ask you if you could report that to Debian as well and mention the created Debbug here.

We could then sync the package afterwards and avoid having to maintain a Delta of some sorts.
From there the path to SRUs would be free then.
