That's Ettus' decision. However, when you introduce a dependency into osmo-trx which breaks our official nightly package builds, I would argue it is also your responsibility to resolved that in some way, or at least to provide a solution to that problem :)
Yes, I accept responsibility for underestimating the downstream effects of the version change on stable package builds. I do believe increasing the UHD version requirement is the best choice for users given the stated direction of Ettus version support.
Recommended UHD versions are found in Debian 8.0 Backports and Ubuntu 14.04 Ettus Research PPA.

Do you know how to add that dependency on external binary package repos to OBS? Or do we have to re-build the soruce packages as part of the OBS build? Would you be taking care of this if we provide you with the respective privileges on the osmocom OBS build?
Adding the backports repository should be sufficient for Debain builds. I'm not familiar with the details of the OBS. Given access, though, I can figure out the dependency settings if there is nobody else is in a better position to do so.
