Hardly. You get support on the things *in the main distribution*.
That's not the case for the package in question, which is in Universe.
This isn't enabled by default, and I believe that it's pretty clear
about the support status of those packages when you do enable
Universe.
Stick to the supported packages, and you get a supported system... Long Term Support only refers to the support
Canonical provides, which
is more-or-less the packages in Main. It's all too easy to moan about
the supposed lack of action without doing something about it.
Then the LTS release is no more than a misleading badge to earn
Canonical a little more money? One more reason we shouldn't use Ubuntu
on servers, perhaps.
