Hi.
I uploaded 1.15-2 to Debian experimental.
It includes two fixes to regressions from jessie (also regressions in
Ubuntu):
1) this bug -- OTP users don't work with DNS discovery

2) Another upstream issue where enhancements to the IPv6 support break
IPv4 only systems.
I haven't seen Debian reports of that issue, but code changes are
minimal and are easy to audit for impact.

I'm not volunteering to file the SRU paperwork on the Ubuntu side, but
I'm happy to provide technical assistance for anyone who wants to do
that.
I believve that a sync of 1.15-2 over 1.15-1 would be appropriate and in
terms of code change complexity would be within Ubuntu's policies.
