All three of those packages [1][2][3] are now in the universe
repository for lucid.

If the package gets reviewed and advocated, you can still get it
uploaded for lucid. It can also get uploaded after Feature Freeze if a
Feature Freeze exception gets granted for it.

If these changes are Ubuntu-specific, files bugs against the packages
on Launchpad and use the Sponsorship process to get the patches
uploaded. There is no need to use REVU. If these changes apply to
Debian as well, you should look into getting the changes applied in
Debian so we can continue to sync the package in Ubuntu.
