No, not at the Backports level. We build from Edgy sources unmodified. There
is now a mechanism for manually uploading modified sources through a core
dev, but that is to be used only in emergency circumstances.

You can try requesting this in the Ubuntu rhythmbox source package and see
where you get...

I am now using pbuilder, as it works flawlessly enough to be acceptable,
especially since I made some hardware upgrades and filesystem tweaks so that
its performance is now acceptable on my machines. I did not enjoy pbuilder
when I started out using Warty/Hoary backports.

Either method of compiling backports is acceptable, but in the latter YOU
are responsible for keeping that chroot free of contamination.
