Will be this new version 0.4.8-6 backported to ubuntu 12.04?

If you are interested in seeing this added to the version of apt-mirror in Precise please follow the Stable Release Updates procedure documented at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Thanks!

Who can promote backporting this patch to LTS precise release?

You need to nominate a bug task for precise and ask a manager in #ubuntu-bugs to approve it.

@Pali: Everyone can go ahead and prepare a patch.

I have prepared a patch (attached) and uploaded it to precise-proposed.

Here's an updated debdiff that reference bug #977278.

Hello Pali, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt-mirror into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-mirror/0.4.8-5ubuntu0.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Now I tested updated apt-mirror package from precise-proposed/universe and it working fine for mirroring maemo5 apt repositories.
