Bug Description

Evince uses the page numbers of the pdf when displaying search results in the find sidebar. If one has a document with a more complex structure, such as different page ranges for frontmatter in roman and mainmatter in arabic, one wants to use the page labels instead. I've reported this to upstream, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756683 , and a patch has been proposed, this patch is for the evince master branch though, and my attempt at adapting it to 3.10.3 did not succeed.

Actually the patch can be adapted relatively easily. I now managed to build a new evince package with it.

The issue is fixed upstream for 3.19, we can probably backport the patch on 3.18 next cycle

What about evince 3.10.3 in Ubuntu 14.04 ? I managed to adapt the patch to it.

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, somebody would need to make a case of why a stable update is needed and provide info on the impact and how to test the issue
