I'm still not quite sure that a stable release update is the right thing
to do. The diff is huge (compared to the version in feisty) and not
remotely eyeball-able. I think that
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BackportRequestProcess might make more sense.

I CC the ubuntu-motu@ list, to get more opinions on this one.

If you still want to try to make it through the SRU process, I can
answer your questions.

Yes, maybe 5.5.1-2~proposed1 (For the upload to feisty-proposed) and
5.5.1-2~update1 (for the upload to feisty-updates).

In debian/changelog your current upload target is 'gutsy'. For the
upload to -proposed change it to feisty-proposed, then to
feisty-updates, if it got sufficiently tested

The one that is currently in feisty.

If you have any more questions, let me (and the list) know.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
