Comment 10 for bug 1594740

Hi Orestis and thanks for following up here even though you're a _Debian_ package maintainer and not an _Ubuntu_ package maintainer :-).

Am I assuming correctly that the Debian bug report you are referring to is the following? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827729

I will investigate tomorrow morning whether there is any chance of getting your fix into Ubuntu 16.04. Like you I am not intimately familiar with the Ubuntu release management process, it's not even clear to me whether non-security bug fixes can be backported to LTS releases. I suppose they _might_ if 1) there are no backwards incompatible changes, 2) the bug is considered critical enough and 3) enough people make their voice heard that they consider it a critical bug :-).

Will follow up here soon!
