Until now we have re-build some of these for our own use to get long standing bugs fixed, but IMHO it would be better to fix the package in the repo so others get the fixes also? Can someone explain what is the preferred way to for example get bugs fixed in the cyrus package? Can we help to prepare a merge of the actual source in the ubuntu/debian build? Who should be contacted to get something included? Thanks for any commentsIf you can prepare a debdiff (see the debdiff program in the devscripts package), file a bug against the package in Launchpad that explains the problem, then attach the debdiff to the bug and subscribe the ubuntu-sponsors team to the bug, someone from that team will review it for upload to the Ubuntu archive.

Thanks,is it also possible to get "in-sync" with official sources somehow because there are at least 5 bugs we are concerned that are fixed on the way from cyrus 2.4.12 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to the latest 2.4.17 source distribution. As far as i understand debdiff this is per-bug and therefore will miss the ~30 other bugs for example if we only fix our 5 top priorities? Or is it possible/recommended to use debdiff to go from 2.4.12 -> 2.4.17 ? I'm aware that this is not possible for the "main" repository, but i don't know if this also apply to "universe".
