It isn't a candidate for SRU since 13.10 shipped with 0.8.3, so 0.8.6
is a new upstream release.

If you could cherry pick just the change that fixes the bug and apply
it to 0.8.3 and it didn't require the new library, then it could be an
SRU, otherwise it would have to be a backport.  Given that 14.04 is
now only a month away, and will shortly be followed by 13.10 going
EOL, it begs the question why bother with either?
