Any update on this?

Do you have a source package prepared for 2.10.11? If the DDs on the VoIP
team are too busy, someone else could potentially sponsor it.

Do the VoIP team consider the new upstream release to be low-risk? In
particular, do all the reverse dependencies build successfully against it?

If 2.10.11 is considered risky, the alternative is to do the "v5"
rename, as Ubuntu have done:
<http://patches.ubuntu.com/p/ptlib/ptlib_2.10.10~dfsg-5ubuntu1.patch>

As with a new SONAME, a DD sponsor would be required; but if you
attach a patch, someone could sponsor it. (I can't guarantee to do it
myself, but I am not the only DD who has been sponsoring and NMUing
for this transition.)
