The attached debdiff (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10110278/debdiff) looks reasonable to me. So I propose the following:

 * Get this uploaded into Hardy, built, and test that it now works OOTB.
 * Create an automated backport to gutsy-backports and test it.
 * Once it is confirmed to work, copy the gusy-backports source and binary into gutsy-updates.

This approach should provide step-by-step verification without causing any unnecessary manual work. What do you think?

Wrt. SRU policy, since the gutsy package is not working at all, there's little that can be broken any further, so I think it is resonable to do more invasive changes in this case.
