Since 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is now feature-frozen, one supposes this isn't going to happen for the present LTS release.
This is unfortunate, because the pressing problem with retaining the ancient OpenCV 2.4 in Xenial is that it doesn't include Python 3 bindings. The python-opencv package requires Python 2.7, which is not a good state of affairs going forward into a new LTS: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-opencv Note also the related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1540168 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to opencv in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516985 Title: Package update to 3.0 Status in opencv package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in opencv package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: It would be nice to update opencv in the repo to 3.0 which is released in 2015-06!
