Wrong. Ubuntu LTS is not maintained by Debian. Please use the Ubuntu BTS
for problems with its packages.

Which has become "stable" (as in: don't touch it unless you really have
to") long ago, even "oldstable", and now even displaced of that position. 
Nobody is even close to touching it.

libspeexdsp is made of the same source package as libspeex. In previous
versions its functionality has been included in libspeex.so itself. If
the package does not yet have libspeexdsp.so, libspeex.so might just
work (but has a potential for other breakages, as pointed out in that
thread)
