This is still an issue and an increasingly serious one; the packaged version is now almost a decade out of date and missing major functionality as many tools & websites have switched to HTML5. The versioning is also unfortunate, as apt will keep trying to 'upgrade' to the obsolete one. I have been using the .debs that tidy distributes (latest: https://github.com/htacg/tidy- html5/releases/download/5.4.0/tidy-5.4.0-64bit.deb ) and they have been working great for me.
