Oh, nice :)  Have you started down the path to getting them into the
precise-backports repository, following the info at

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports

Hmmm, this means I could enhance my setup script to add that PPA and
grab the backported packages, if it is run on 12.04... I might give that
a go...
