I assume the PPA you refer to is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-
ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports.

Since that PPA also has many other backported packages that aren't in
jammy-backports, can you build the backport with only the jammy-
backports pocket (and jammy-release, jammy-updates of course) and do
some testing on it to verify it works correctly?

Besides the testing details, this LGTM.

Title:
  [BPO] carla/2.5.4-0ubuntu2 from lunar

Status in carla package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in carla source package in Jammy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The version of carla in jammy is very outdated and buggy and is
  quite difficult to support and does not contain necessary python 3.10
  fixes. We have attempted to SRU newer upstream versions at the request
  of the upstream but were met with the need to provide a microrelease
  exception, which proved difficult to justify. Additionally, this is
  several point releases newer and contains too many changes to justify
  an SRU.

  * We have 2.5.4 in a PPA but users don't always know where to get it.
  This would make it easier to get the newer version.

  * This version contains too many new features to justify a SRU but are
  relevant to users. For instance, this version contains a newer
  embedded juce implementation and also contains better python 3.10
  support and numerous Qt fixes.

  [Scope]

   * Package will backport from Lunar (Future 23.04)

   * Package will backport to Jammy (22.04 LTS)

  [Other Information]

  * Package requires no newer libraries to function, so no development
  libraries need to be backported.
