Two issues here...

(1) The path to archive is preferably to land things in the stable maintenance branch first: lp:mir/0.4 . Unfortunately lp:mir points to an archive-only branch that represents neither the active development branch nor our stable maintenance branch.

(2) If we did land this in lp:mir/0.4 then that's kind of an ABI break of sorts, which isn't meant to happen in stable maintenance branches because it just breaks things and confuses everyone.

I think if you want bug 1329089 fixed in Ubuntu then the cleanest way to do it is wait until we've bumped Ubuntu up to the 0.5 series. Ubuntu should be on 0.4 for the foreseeable future which means no binary compatibility changes occur:

But there's an argument that changing the C++ ABI dependency is not a libmir* ABI change. Land at your own risk I guess. Things may explode.
