Have you tried contacting the maintainers of util-linux regarding this
patch?  It would be best to seek inclusion there, as maintaining this
divergence in Ubuntu creates more work for its developers.

Here are some contacts:

Maintainer: Adrian Bunk <bunk at fs.tum.de>
Maintainer: Andries Brouwer <aeb at cwi.nl>
Maintainer address: util-linux at math.uio.no
Maintainer of getopt: Frodo Looijaard <frodol at dds.nl>
Maintainer of simpleinit: Richard Gooch <rgooch at atnf.csiro.au>
