Thank you very much, Jay, for writing up this SRU bug report and providing the debdiffs with the fix. This is the usual way how you contribute if you do not have upload rights to the Ubuntu archives. You post debdiffs in a bug report and a person with appropriate rights (the so-called "sponsor") applies the debdiff and uploads the resulting package.
I have uploaded the appropriate packages right now and subscribed the SRU team (ubuntu-sru group) to this report. Now the SRU Team will check the uploaded packages and put them into the -proposed repositories of the distro versions affected. Then they call for testing by a comment here. Once somebody tests the packages and finds that the bug is actually fixed, and nobody reports a regression, the fixed packages get released into the affected distros.
