I am answering to this as we work quite closely. Most Linux distributions follow certain guidelines, among which is not to bump up the versions of packages in their stable releases. 8.10, yes, is a stable release - and it shipped with 0.7.2-4 [1] - Quite sensible at the time (I uploaded that package into Debian on September 1 2008, and the quick progression since started with 0.8.1-1 on September 24, probably after their Debian Unstable sync. And 0.8 was a short-lived release, and 0.9 made some important changes which took me quite a bit of time to get integrated). Yes, for those that want the latest and the greatest and the breakest, that's what unstable branches (and Leonel's PPA) are for. Leonel is always pushing me to hurry with new releases. Yes, a stable release will never carry the latest upstream code (specially when it moves as fast as Cherokee has during the last couple of months). The upcoming version of Ubuntu (9.04) will ship with 0.11.6-1.
