@sttzr : I'm the Debian package maintainer, I don't maintain the package for Ubuntu, nor do I have Ubuntu upload rights.
I watch the bug reports for Ubuntu packages and fix them "upstream" (Debian is Ubuntu's upstream), but that's it. If you want to learn more about the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu, please read this : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/ForDebianDevelopers Unfortunately, I don't plan to become an Ubuntu developer or uploader, I don't have time for this. However, a couple of weeks ago, when I saw @mwbradley's messages and yours, I tried to help by searching how to request for a package to be backported in Ubuntu older releases. I'm pretty sure that there used to be some wiki page explaining how a "mere" user could request for a particular package to be backported, but after spending nearly an hour crawling on Ubuntu wiki, I couldn't find it. All I found was the backports page which explains that one has to prepare a backported package, open a bug, find a sponsor, etc etc. I have all my tools to prepare packages for Debian, creating such a set of tools for Ubuntu, even only for two particular releases, would take me hours, let alone opening two bugs, finding a sponsor, request the backports, etc etc. I don't have that time. At that point, I was just fed up, and gave up without even leaving a note here to explain it. @linrunner was more clever than me by sending directly an e-mail to a well known Ubuntu developer who previously patched acpi-call in Ubuntu for a this kernel incompatibility when it first appeared. We're still waiting for an answer. If you want this backport that bad, try to find the procedure to request it; if not, just download version 1.2.2 from Debian unstable or Ubuntu devel, and install it on your machine. Sorry, but I won't spend any more time on this bug.
