I won't comment on the policy question. In regards to your question about that specific bug and update request though, this is where looking into the issues and package version history on Launchpad can help answer things.
If you check Xenial on that specified package, it's already 1.1.0. 1.1.0-0ubuntu1 was uploaded on January 4th, with a later update of -0ubuntu2 on January 15th. Thomas *Sent from my iPhone.
