Yes, for some distros (Arch) that always allow bleeding edge releases.
No, for some distros (Ubuntu) that always prefer stable applications.
The Debian maintainer for LMMS was MIA last I knew, so Debian will be 
stuck at 0.4.10 until someone can update it.
Ubuntu specific:
When a new release of LMMS comes out, it will automatically be checked 
out by launchpad when I point the package to look at the GitHub stable 
branch.  So when the next release comes along, if it is before feature 
freeze, I can get the new version into Ubuntu.  If a new version comes 
along after a release, you will have to use/make a ppa.  ESPECIALLY for 
LTS.  Those are *very* hard to get new packages in, although possible, 
but usually only security fixes (with exception to certain programs, 
like Firefox)
