Since it doesn't seem that the backports will be done any time soon, here's how to compile it yourself.

1. Download and extract http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/oxygen-gtk3/oxygen-gtk3_1.4.1-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz. Do not remove the tarball.
2. cd to oxygen-gtk3-1.4.1.
3. Download and extract http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/oxygen-gtk3/oxygen-gtk3_1.4.1-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz. Remove the tarball.
4. Run debuild. Of course, install it if you don't have it already (the "command not found" error message should tell you which package to install). Likewise, if you get an an error message about a missing dependency during compilation, install that package and run debuild again.
5. At the end of the compilation, you will see an error message when GPG fails to sign the package with the maintainer's key (of course, you are not the maintainer, so you do not have the correct GPG private key). This is not a problem, the package is still created normally, it is just not signed.
6. The .deb package is in the parent directory, you can now install it.
