Great! Have you talked to the upstream developer or to the Debian maintainer?

That package is not maintained by our team. Ubuntu 16.04 is already in the feature freeze, so maybe you'll need to ask for a freeze exception if you want to need this done. If it'll be a sync from Debian, the changes are high that it will be approved. -- Dmitry Shachnev
