It's just a more recent version of those packages, right? Not a
different branch or repo? Then it's OK to submit patches to update those
versions. You can put some people in CC with a request to test it, e.g.
Carlo Caione <carlo.caione at gmail.com>, the original author, or Carlos
Quijano <carlos at crqgestion.es>, who bumped it for cubieboard2.

Configurable package versions are generally a bad idea. If it is really
necessary, you could add a choice in sunxi-boards that offers a few
well-defined versions or repos.
