I feel that I've already gone far above and beyond the call of duty regarding this issue. In this particular case I was only focusing on Lubuntu Quantal as indicated by the title of the post. Abiword's maintainer has already spoken: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1019621

Right now I'm only concerned about Lubuntu Quantal. I want to be sure Lubuntu 12.10 ships with a usable version of 'abiword'. Next week while testing Ubuntu and Xubuntu 12.04.1 candidates I'll try to raise the issue regarding Precise which will be much more difficult. I am of course assuming th

I'm not sure why SRU would come into play in Lubuntu Quantal since we're still in development? Since we started using "proposed" repos in the QQ testing cycle I'd think we could just make a decision, then the pkg in proposed could be tested and decided on :^) What version of 'abiword' should b

Yes, I just had a chat with some folks from the SRU team.. Indeed, this should be handled as an SRU. However, in order to meet requirements the update must not cause any regressions or add any new features. In essence, it must simply fix the bug in question and change nothing else. By default a

We missed you in the meeting. Please note I do not speak for the release team. However, at this point, any change is likely to need good reason and undergo a lot of scrutiny. They don't want to introduce any regressions, etc. With that said, this seems to me to be a matter of getting a update p
