NOTE: the following is not authoritative; it's just my (informed?) 
opinion...

I'd guess not.  It appears that debian's changes are all on the 1.4.3 
branch, which is permanently and irrevocably dead.  We really really 
really don't want to provide anybody with more excuses to stay on 1.4.3. 
 If John Q. Developer wants new-and-improved libtool functionality, 
then we want JQD to use 1.5.x.

We don't want to re-open the 1.4.x branch for more fixes, since that 
will just keep JQD using that dead branch longer.

Death to 1.4.3!
