Is this still going to be included in precise? It's not in 12.04.5

The display missing from the host field is preventing me from shadowing the session with WinSwitch and currently it's not practical for me to update to 14.04.

Title:
  utmp records do not have X display address in host field

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Impact:
  utmp records generated by LightDM do not have the X display address in the ut_host field.

  Test Case:
  - log into a desktop session
  - run "w" and see if there is a display associated with the session
  - should work with the update

  Regression potential:
  The utmp,wtmp records could be wrong

  ---
  utmp records generated by LightDM do not have the X display address in the ut_host field.  It is not documented that this field should be used in this way, but this is what GDM does.
