It won't come through breezy-updates. This get discussed every half a
year and we always decided, that to maintain the unstable GNOME branch
in the Ubuntu development version and the stable branch of GNOME in the
stable Ubuntu version (2.13.x-branch in Dapper and 2.12.x-branch in
Breezy) is just too much work. 

Why?

      * every upload has to get it right in the first shot, else
        breezy-updates are broken.
      * sometimes stuff has to be rebuilt to depend on a new library
        version.
      * "GNOME" is 50-60 source packages, which need not only packaging,
        but adjusting with the patches we have.

So I daresay, this won't hit the stable branch, sorry.

Have a nice day,
