I see no reason to backport Mir to 12.04 just to run Unity7+XMir on
top of it, and complicate the already complicated backport stack any
further.  All the X bits we need to keep 12.04 HWE going should still
exist in 13.10, so backporting as usual should work just fine.  This
should probably also be true for the 14.04->12.04 HWE backport, though
I'll need to talk to our desktop people to make sure this works sanely.
