wily has bcache 1.0.8, there are no major changes to bcache itself [1] save fixes for working in systemd pre-boot environments, which for trusty won't matter; there are a number of package fixes[2] related to 1.0.8 intriduction of a bcache_register program introduced for systemd preboot support. I don't see any compelling reason to use 1.0.8 in trusty over what's already in vivid and tested (1.0.7);

    bcache-register: use register, not register_quiet

    register_quiet doesn't report errors correctly, the following kernel
    patch needs to be applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549

    See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594
    for how this comes up in practice.

    Replace bcache-register with c, use builtin kmod

    In a pure systemd pre-boot environment, register-bcache can't be shell
    code as there is no shell available. Switch to loading the module with
    udev's builtin kmod support and introduce a small binary for registering
    devices.

    Gabriel: Changed errors to be verbose
