I'd be happy to support this approach - as Stefan highlights, pretty
much the only stuff landing in both packaging and upstream are bugfixes
so I think the risk for a straight backport is pretty low.
I did some testing on 12.04, 12.10 and 13.10 - as I think we'll want to
backport to all pre 14.04 releases; upgrades from the release/updates
packages worked fine and the dkms modules worked with the 3.11 kernel on
12.04.

Title:
[SRU] Backport iscsitarget 1.4.20.3+svn490 into Precise
Status in “iscsitarget” source package in Precise:
Triaged
Bug description:
Justification:
Impact: We will be using the Saucy kernel for HW enablement in the
12.04.4 images. This will again break the DKMS iscsitarget
compilation.
Fix: While looking at the required changes to the DKMS source, the
remainder user-space part of the Saucy version of iscsitarget seemed
also bugfixes only. So it would make sense to just backport that
package completely for Precise.
Testcase:
- Created a VM running Precise
- Installed current version of iscsitarget + iscsitarget-dkms
- Created a file based iscsi target
- Install open-iscsi and used that to connect locally
- Upgraded iscsitarget + iscsitarget-dkms to proposed backport version
- Verified dkms module compiled for Precise kernel
- Rebooted VM and verified that the dkms module can be loaded and iscsi
disk is accessible.
- Installed linux-generic-lts-saucy kernel
- Verified that dkms module got built and installed
- Rebooted VM in Saucy kernel and verified that iscsi disk is still usable.
