What I can do is to create a Stable Release Update (SRU) of Ghostscript (a new package with the patch applied) for affected Ubuntu versions (18.10, 18.04, 16.04?) and upload it. Then there will be a 1-week period for users to test and confirm that the SRU solves the problem. After that the Ubuntu release team will promote the new package into the official updates.
Is this OK for you?

We were reported a bug from our printer users: I print file use papersize A5 (Ubuntu 16.04.1(x64),Ghostscript 9.18) is Okay. But, after I update (apt-get upgrade) to Ubuntu 16.04.5(x64),Ghostscript 9.25, I print the same file with the same driver there is an error reports: "Filter Error" I figure out that all the papersize with define "LeadingEdge" can't print success after update. (with "LeadingEdge":A5, Statement, A4(without "LeadingEdge") is print Okay). I view the "CUPS Error Log",there is an error reports when print job fails: "Ghostscript command line: /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -sMediaType=Plain -sOutputType=Pass=1,Direction=1 -r600x600 -dLeadingEdge=1 -dMediaPosition=7 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=420 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=595 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 -dcupsColorOrder=0 -dcupsColorSpace=1 -scupsPageSizeName=A5 -I/usr/share/cups/fonts -c \'<</.HWMargins[14.400000 14.400000 14.399994 14.400024] /Margins[0 0]>>setpagedevice\' -f -_ Unrecoverable error: undefined in .putdeviceprops" Ubuntu 18.04(x64), Ghostscript 9.22 also have the same problem. -------------------------------------------------- ghostscript had confirm that this a bug of ghostscript 9.22(and the later version).
