I don't know how Ubuntu handles their LTS releases, but normally you would only
backport the fix for a vulnerability, you don't package a newer upstream
version. In that case, the debdiff posted by Malte S. Stretz in that thread is
what you want to apply to the Ubuntu LTS packages as well:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/138627199/tinc_1.0.19-2_1.0.19-3.diff.gz

If it's not LTS then just package the latest version of tinc as you would do
any new upstream release.
