I'm not directly working on it yet in Ubuntu... I'm trying to sort out
the upstream -> Debian issues first.  In the meantime, I'm happy to see
an Ubuntu version released!

One note about your latest debdiff (v3)...

The alpha LDFLAGS issue in debian/rules shouldn't be a problem for us in
Ubuntu, so that part of the debdiff can also probably be dropped.  In
fact, it has apparently already been fixed in binutils so there's no
need to keep the alpha stuff at all.

Bug description:
  Inkscape community proudly announces the 0.91 release of Inkscape! Please update Ubuntu 15.04 packages to the latest stable Inkscape version.
  Packages for Uuntu 14.x, 12.04 and 15.04 are available at ppa:inkscape.dev/stable - see
  https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable

  This release marks the culmination of a multi-year effort to switch to a new internal graphics rendering engine, Cairo. This brings performance enhancements and more accurate rendering of drawings.
  A new Trace Pixel Art feature enables creation of vector art from bitmaps, sprites, and icons. A new Symbols Library provides reusable graphics elements - you can even read in Visio symbol libraries. New Snapping options and improved Snap preferences make it easier to quickly place items in the alignments you need. The tools for arranging objects offer several new ways to position the elements of a drawing. Tons of other little improvements have been made across all the other tools as well.
  Several new file formats are supported, including FXG, SIF and HTML5 export; and VSD and CDR import. EMF/WMF are now readable and writable for all platforms. And XCF, PDF, EPS, and PS+LaTeX support are improved.
  Inkscape has a rich Extension ecosystem, which is well known for bringing clever, cool, and innovative new ideas. Over a dozen new extensions are added in this release, including an Isometric Grid Generator, a Bitmap Cropper, a Text Extractor and a Text Merger, an HSL Adjuster, a Font Replacer, a Voronoï Diagram Creator, and more.
  The above barely scratches the surface of all the new stuff included in this release. For the full story, including examples and screenshots, please see our detailed Release Notes:
