I think it likely that's an automated process.
Debian has already taken a fixed Metapost long ago, but Ubuntu has not
updated the TeXlive binaries in spite of me reporting the problem.
When did Debian get the fix? The Debian import freeze for 13.10 was July 25th:

Well, they upgraded to latest stable alright this time, and the
packaging looks pretty convincing. But whether or not they upgraded
LilyPond would have made no difference to the situation with the broken
fonts: it would have just been the same if they had compiled an older
version of LilyPond with that version of Metapost.
Yup. It looks like the development version of Ubuntu has landed the updated
texlive-bin packages:

... so maybe it can be backported. I'll look into who might be able to help
with this.
