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.
