Maybe it’s just my perception but I feel that backports for Ubuntu 8.04 haven’t been particularly forthcoming. These are the requested backports and updates that I would take advantage of should they become available.

• libgems-ruby 1.1.1
• k3b 1.0.5
• smplayer 0.6.0
• swfdec 0.6.6 backport
• swfdec 0.6.6 update
