No likely to happen. The upstream packaging is separate from the one in 
Debian and Ubuntu, and by extension in UbuntuGIS.

The oracle changes in the upstream package are not appropriate for 
UbuntuGIS for example.

I'd rather see UbuntuGIS disappear and have people working on 
maintaining proper backports in Ubuntu itself in collaboration with 
maintainers in Debian.

But due to the lack of manpower the status quo is most likely to remain.

Kind Regards,
