Public bug reported:

hi, 
Ubuntu has released "trusty" 14.04 LTS this year. Its apt branch has most of the updated packages. But, what I found is the other LTS branches like precise (which I use)(support till 2017) and lucid (support till 2015) packages are not updated. For Example:  avrdude(new release has new features which makes it faster), avr-libc, binutils-avr, pinta(current package is unstable), etc.

Though I updated the avrdude and pinta manually, an update is not
alerted (automatically) to all the persons who are using Ubuntu. But its
the package management system (say apt) which keeps track of the
updates, notify updates to user and automatically installs them. Here, I
think somebody forget updating the packages of old LTS branch(precise
and lucid)(which is supported till 2017) and hence the people(or user of
Ubuntu) are suffering with bugs and low performance releases.

So, I request the admin or the person resolving this bug to  PLEASE
NOTIFY THE PACKAGE MAINTAINERS TO UPDATE THE PACKAGES OF THE LTS
BRANCHES, precise and lucid, since these branches will be in use till
2015 and 2017 respectively; so that public can enjoy new features and
updated (debugged) programs.
