Dmitry, I am aware that pulling back a newer package will never satisfy the 
normal SRU requirements. The question is whether there is a way to argue for an 
exemption in any way. One problem with the crash package is that (AFAIK) it is 
maintained upstream in tarball releases only. So picking specific fixes is hard 
at least and may cause even more problems. This newer release has been used by 
a few people quite a bit and while probably not looking much at the new 
features, those would be sort of opt-in to use. Of course there is always the 
risk of regressing old functionality. Which hopefully is kept at minimum by the 
intense usage that has been done.
The proposed pocked may be a resort. The problem I see with that is that it is 
rather complicated to enable only for a specific package. And the situation for 
Quantal at least which is broken (the version in release and updates cannot be 
used to work on kernels that are installed be default). The Precise situation 
is soon similar as 12.04.2 will install a 3.5 kernel by default.
That is why I would rather try to get a special exemption here.
