Ubuntu doesn't increase versions within a distro release. Xenial ships vte-0.42.5 and gnome-terminal-3.18.3, even if 0.42.6/3.18.4 gets release Ubuntu definitely wouldn't update (and that's the right thing to do for a non-rolling distro). The best you could ask for is cherry-picking a critical fix into 0.42.5/3.18.3.
Yakkety will almost sure include 0.44 & 3.20, no need to ask for it explicitly.
