they only ship 1.4.1 within the upcoming "edgy" release and 1.3.7 in the dapper release. You've to take into account that Ubuntu and their derivates and sub distros are all based on Debian. As it took some time to get the packages in Debian back on track they had no chance to repackage/recompile 1.4.x packages for the dapper or edgy release. I donno how they handle backports but maybe you can ask Barry (the Ubuntu guy) about that. I'll CC him to catch his attention.
