Jose, Ubuntu Stable Release Update policy requires that bugs be fixed in the current development release (currently Ubuntu 18.10 "cosmic") before being fixed in stable release updates.
See #1 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure Since gazebo is mostly maintained by Debian, I strongly encourage you to file this bug in Debian first.
