I don't know specifically what the ubuntu policy is regarding
backports of fixes like this, but I'd start here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python/python

This is the actual package page, you might have luck either reporting
this to their bug tracker, or contacting the team members directly.

It would really be great to have this done upstream; all my machines
use ubuntu and this stupid backspacing is driving me crazy...

Cheers,
