I don't think that this patch is appropriate for an SRU. SRU's are
supposed to fix "high-impact bugs", such as "severe regressions" and
"loss of user data", and are specifically not supposed to be used as a
mechanism to provide new features. (See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When)

Backports, on the other hand, are for including "significant new
features", so I think that backporting grace from Natty to Lucid (and
Maverick) is pretty clearly the way to go here.

I'm going to turn this into a backports bug instead of an SRU bug.
