Jimmy, the effort is ongoing and we want to get it right for future versions before attempting any backports, if for no other reason than we want to make sure those backports are upgradable!

That said, you're welcome to pull down the packaging as it sits right now in the linked branch and build it on lucid or maverick.. I don't see anything in the build that would prevent that from working. One thing to watch out for though, is that libmysqlclient16 is not ABI compatible, and so will likely be removed from the build until we figure that out with upstream. This bug is tracking the issue there:
