The first part is here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.wily/files

Bug reports _should_ cover changes that need to be done :)

With regard to bugfixes in Ubuntu, my last experience with this was a 
bust. I found the bug, created a fix for it(one line), made the bug report 
added the patch file to the bug report. All that was needed was to 
actually patch the package. Instead, "Expired for qmidiroute (Ubuntu) 
because there has been no activity for 60 days."

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qmidiroute/+bug/1455920

I will try making a merge request I guess.
