I would change it still a bit more. First of all, why would any bug be a "significant bug in Ubuntu" *by default*? Secondly, steps (1) and (2) should not be difficult for anyone interested. But steps 3 and 5, at least, are not that easy. And the new text seems to imply that "either all is done, or do not even bother to ask". Proposed second paragraph: "If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please read the SRU Procedure [1] and perform at least the first two steps to bring the need to a developer's attention."
