[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug

[Thomas Ward]

The MOTU SRU team isn't going to support an SRU in this case (because of
a version change, according to the MOTUs I spoke to yesterday).  They
are more likely to be willing to support a sync to Quantal for the
Debian version of the package, and then a backport of that to Precise
(the repository that will contain the updated BOINC is therefore
precise-backports).
