Comment 1 for bug 976360

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. I see that you have attached patches to update the Ubuntu packages to the new upstream version. While this work is appreciated, we cannot publish your patches because this does not follow Ubuntu's policy of backporting security patches. If you are able, perhaps you could prepare debdiffs to fix this by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures.
