No, I was expressing my experience with the Debian project. I have no experience with alpha versions of Ubuntu.
Debian packaged an older version of Jenkins and I had to remove it so that I could install the Jenkins LTS. I love Debian and am very grateful for the excellent operating system they provide. It is my preferred Linux operating system. In this particular case, there was a minor "bump" because I wanted a newer Jenkins than was packaged by the Debian project. I assume the same holds true for other packages. If the operating system provides a package, and I want a newer version, and the packaging between the newer version and the Debian version are different (which they were, in my case), then I'll need to remove the package provided by the operating system, then install the newer version I want.
