Comment 110 for bug 85751

I was very short in my answer for a reason. As much as we can all
point you at how to activate backports, there are appropriate places
to ask things like this such as launchpad answers, the forums, mailing
list, or irc.
This isn't meant to come across as pompous, but rather to avoid
putting bug spam not relevant to developers and users watching this bug.
