You can push those versions to experimental and ask Ubuntu to sync
from there (they do that during freeze but not automatically) using
requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools (available in Debian). For other
derivatives there aren't any specific sync procedures, you'll need to
contact their development fora, some are listed in the census pages.
