That's unfortunate. I know next to nothing about debian/ubuntu or how they do versions or how to even build packages for them. But they're big distros, presumably they have support teams of some sort, perhaps they can help you.
Assuming that switching away does resolve the issue for you, perhaps you can also recommend that they avoid shipping that version, or include this nouveau fix in it:

This whole libdrm thing is a bit of a cluster%@#$ unfortunately -- 2.4.60 is broken for nouveau, building even the latest released xf86-video-intel against 2.4.61+ causes it to not start ("fixed" in xf86-video-intel git), and newer mesa requires libdrm 2.4.60+.

Matter of fact
apt-cache show libdrm2 sudo apt-get install libdrm2=2.4.56-1~ubuntu2 #sudo echo “package libdrm2” | sudo dpkg –set-selections
I'll give it a go at the end of the working day - should give enough time to recover if it all goes spectacularly wrong :)
