Ben already answered this point for Debian, so I'll answer it for Ubuntu. If the package is only in Ubuntu or the version already in Ubuntu is newer than that one in Debian: file a bug and tag it "upgrade". If you want, update the package yourself, attach the .diff.gz to the bug that you've filled and subscribe "ubuntu-universe-sponsors"; also consider submitting your changes to Debian (in a bug report). If the same version of the package is in Debian, it is preferred to do what Ben suggested and wait for Debian to package the new version, but if the Maintainer is unresponsive (and especially if Feature Freeze is approaching) just do so yourself as explained above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
