The MOTU SRU team isn't going to support an SRU in this case (because of a version change, according to the MOTUs I spoke to yesterday). They are more likely to be willing to support a sync to Quantal for the Debian version of the package, and then a backport of that to Precise (the repository that will contain the updated BOINC is therefore precise-backports).
