...and of course not actually fixed. Debian just dropped 1.19 from unstable, and bug-watch-updater thought it's done. Debian <i>appears</i> to be skipping 1.23 and tracking 1.27 for Stretch, which will be after Xenial.
What will Ubuntu do?

mediawiki 1.27 LTS has been released for the development release of Ubuntu "yakkety" which will be released as Ubuntu 16.10 in October.

mediawiki can be backported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but https://bugs.debian.org/831227 will need to be fixed first.

O.K. so for backporting to 16.04, the upstream bug that Jeremy says to fixed first has been closed. So can it now be backported to 16.04?
