Great idea David. The patch needs a little work:

First, reference this bug# in the changelog entry as (LP: #925315)

Second, you do not need to pre-depend on the library. It will be linked in and automatically added to Depends: by ${shlibs:Depends}. Pre-Depends are only things that are needed to run the preinst maintainer script, which you definitely don't need here.

Third, the version should be 5.2.3-0ubuntu3 instead of 5.2.3-0ubuntud. You would have gotten that automatically if you had run 'dch -i' to edit the changelog.

Once you've uploaded an updated patch, make sure to subscribe ubuntu-sponsors to this bug, and somebody will take a look at the patch ASAP.

Finally, THANKS!

I'm not sure what's the matter, but trying to enable compression = LZO gives me the error "Fatal error: Compression deflateParams error: -2" when trying to do a backup. Switching back to GZIP fixes it. 5.2.5-0ubuntu6

Both the client and the server should have a version installed which has LZO enabled. Is this the case? If it is, please create a new bug. You can cc me and I will take a look into it.
LZO compression works fine for Terabytes of data for me.
