Sergio: Ubuntu Utopic has version 4.101-0ubuntu19, where the latter part
of the version number ("ubuntu19") means there's some Ubuntu-specific
patches in this package. Normally a package from Debian will be synced
to Ubuntu when a new version appears. However, in this case when there
are some changes in Ubuntu, so someone needs to look at those changes to
see which of them have been applied upstream and which need
updating/reworking. This is called merging, because it merges the
changes from Ubuntu with the latest package from Debian. (See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging for more details on
merging)

So basically, someone needs to take 5.23 from Debian, and then merge it
with the patches we have in Ubuntu today.

Judging from comment #3 it sounds like support for bluez 5 in PulseAudio
was a blocker at some point. What is the current state of this?
