Hi,
I'm neither an Ubuntu developer, nor do I maintains some backports.
However, a lot of backports easily could be counter-productive regarding
the Long Term Support's policy.
Consider to provide your packages by a PPA.

Note, you can't just upload the local packages you already build. It
requires a little bit more effort to provide packages by a repository.
Regards,
Ralf
