cbcymru, the problem with installing packages from outside the Ubuntu
repositories is that you might not receive bugfix or security updates
for those packages. Why? Because you installed 3.6 and the next Ubuntu
bugfix update for this package (if there is one) will be numbered
something like 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2.1. Since that's a lower number than 3.6,
apt will not update your package to that version.

Also, in this case, the Debian package is substantially different so
it's not as integrated into Ubuntu's environment. I'm not familiar
enough with this package to tell you what those differences are.
