Since you're already familiar with the requirements for ARB, that's
probably simplest. And, it's only for one Ubuntu release cycle, so it
might not be worth learning a new process. If you want to do that, start
now, get the Tickr package up in your PPA compiled for Oneiric. Since
the ARB already reviewed and approved the package when it was called
News, the review process should be straightforward.

But, if you expect that you'll often want to make updates to Tickr in
the middle of an Ubuntu release cycle, it's worth learning how backports
work. Backports are the standard way to provide an updated version of a
package for older versions of Ubuntu, when that package is already in
Ubuntu. For a backport, you need to apply after Tickr appears in the P
archive.
