Robert, do you reckon you could look at this? If it's possible (e.g. with build-dep versions) and acceptable to the SRU team then I would be quite happy with moving to 0.6.8 in yakkety as there are loads of random fixes - it's quite a fast moving project. The problem is that there are new features too and not all the fixes come with LP bug reports of course. But see linked bug report on github - it's a fair point that providing QA on random release + patches is not that fun a task for an upstream to do.
