Please can you explain why you're backporting rather than cherry-picking specific fixes here? If the diff is otherwise equivalent, why aren't you still intending to individually verify the specific fixes you need, as would be normal SRU process?

This is not sufficient justification to remove a build from a stable Ubuntu release. Many packages in Ubuntu aren't specifically tested, and we don't routinely remove those.

Is it not working at all, or not "really" working but still effective for some user? In what way doesn't it work?
