Sergio: Ubuntu Utopic has version 4.101-0ubuntu19, where the latter part of the version number ("ubuntu19") means there's some Ubuntu-specific patches in this package. Normally a package from Debian will be synced to Ubuntu when a new version appears. However, in this case when there are some changes in Ubuntu, so someone needs to look at those changes to see which of them have been applied upstream and which need updating/reworking. This is called merging, because it merges the changes from Ubuntu with the latest package from Debian. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging for more details on merging)

So basically, someone needs to take 5.23 from Debian, and then merge it with the patches we have in Ubuntu today.

Judging from comment #3 it sounds like support for bluez 5 in PulseAudio was a blocker at some point. What is the current state of this?
