I see that it's a mandatory requirement that we bring the newest upstream 
version, v2.13.2, updating from v2.9.1.
I would like to skip this step, for the following reasons:

- There are no open CVEs against the current version of the package in 
Ubuntu/Debian
- This package holds no Ubuntu delta, it's a sync from Debian
- Debian didn't bring in the newer version yet, because of the current Full 
Freeze. This freeze will be lifted after the release (which happens in a couple 
weeks). That means
    a) We need to go ahead of Debian to merge the upstream version, and
    b) It's likely that Debian can bring this version soon enough in the future
- The delta between the Ubuntu/Debian version and the upstream version isn't 
small or trivial. It will take some time to review the changes and make sure 
everything is rounded up for the MIR. IMHO jumping ahead of Debian here brings 
in more risk than waiting.

Do you think we could proceed with the MIR with the current Ubuntu
version instead?
