>From the backports perspective, there's nothing that we can do until
version 0.9.17 is available in Ubuntu at all (currently Precise still
has 0.9.16-1).

Backporting 0.9.17 is still fine once it's available; the backport will
still need to be tested as well as Iain described.

However, have you considered going through the SRU process
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates)? We generally prefer to
use backports for exposing new features of a program, while we use SRUs
for fixing bugs, since users don't get backports automatically (and do
get SRUs).

Is it possible to isolate the patches that required breaking network
play? Or alternatively, does 0.9.17 only contain bugfixes (no new
features)?
