** Description changed:

  I'm requesting a FeatureFreeze exception for nvidia-cuda-toolkit 5.5,
  pycuda and starpu-contrib.  Upgrading to nvidia-cuda-toolkit will
  require pycuda and starpu-contrib to be rebuilt with libcuda 5.5 anyway,
  so I'd like to use this opportunity to merge them as well.
+ 
+ The version currently in Ubuntu, nvidia-cuda-toolkit 5.0, was released
+ in October 2012 and receives no updates from upstream.  I believe we
+ will be better off supporting the newer version in the upcoming Trusty
+ LTS.
  
  The packages, with my proposed modifications, all built successfully in my 
PPA:
