(Unfortunately, I'll go in vacation tomorrow, so I'll be offline for two
weeks).
The depedency on python-simplejson is a very annoying thing, but not
critical. In other words, the software doesn't work - it doesn't start,
you can't run any command, etc. - but it won't cause data-loss or
similar problems. So while it should be fixed, it has a simple
workaround (just install python-simplejson), which is why I originally
thought closing the bug with 'fix released' is reasonable. For the
record, the dependency on python-simplejson is a one line change
debian/control and it has gone in the debian version 1.2.2-1. You could
just make a 1.2.0-2ubuntu2 version, with just this new dependency added.
Now, from the 1.2.0 versus 1.2.5, I can definitely say that there has
been a lot of work between these, both in fixing bugs, and in adding new
features. If a friend of mine would be running 1.2.0, I would definitely
recommend 1.2.5, even if it brings new features (which can also have
bugs), because the number of bugs I know are closed between these two
versions.
I unfortunately don't know what's acceptable for an SRU (I think in
Debian this wouldn't be accepted), but if you can push for an SRU, I can
give my recommendation.
Let me know if I can help somehow, after my 2 weeks offline :)

iustin
