That was my conclusion as well.

You will likely have to download the source and build it
yourself. You could
ask the distro maintainers if they will be pushing a newer version
into the
repo.
A couple of years ago, when I was learning how to test GnuCash
packages for inclusion in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I had some email exchanges
with a volunteer at getdeb.net <http://getdeb.net>, and he encouraged
me to help them test GnuCash getdeb packages, implying they would get
into getdeb.net <http://getdeb.net> much quicker that way.
I found the process to be fairly easy, though they use a build
environment different from the official Ubuntu process so I got bogged
down trying to understand the technical differences (and my focus at
the time was making sure the LTS package was good). Other projects
have distracted me since then, I'm sorry to say.
In any case, if you find yourself dependent upon getdeb.net
<http://getdeb.net>, consider sending them a monetary donation to pay
for bandwidth, and also consider contacting them to see if you can
help keep your favorite package(s) updated.
I believe it's a very small organization, but in my experience they
respond well to kind messages.
