It looks like the patch works for me too.
My second hard disk (Western Digital WD2000JD of 200Gb) was constantly spinning up and down since the upgrade to karmic.
I had modified /etc/hdparm.conf so that this disk spins down automatically after a few minutes.
It worked great with jaunty, with the hard disk spinninp up only when I wanted to access it. After the upgrade, it was periodically spinning up, even if I did not access to the hard disk at all.
I found this bug and installed the PPA package.

Since then, the hard disk did not spin up periodically : it looks like it solved my problem.
Thanks to all of you who worked on it.

Will this patch be backported for karmic?
