Bug Description

Hello,

As you can see, Latexmk is available in Debian and Ubuntu repositories but it's an old version (4.24 - released more than one year ago).

A new version has been released less than two months ago and it's still not available in Debian repositories. It seems that the official maintainer doesn't answer to these bugs reports:
 * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668926 => [PATCH] latexmk: Helping to update to packaging format 3.0
 * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693126 => latexmk: New upstream release available + watch file

Is it possible to upload this new version to Ubuntu repositories because it will be needed by the new version of LaTeXila (and also because it fixes other bugs, please have a look at this debian/changelog file). Or should I first report this bug to another Debian dev? Or is it easier to upload this new version to Ubuntu repos first because Debian Testing migration has been frozen?
This new version has been uploaded to mentors.debian.net but I'm not sure that I'll receive an answer from the official Debian maintainer soon.

A bzr branch has been linked to this bug report.

Thank you for your help,

Matt

PS: this new version can be easily tested by using this package: https://launchpad.net/~matttbe/+archive/experimental-debian-build/+sourcepub/2900053/+listing-archive-extra
