I don't think that's anything the Darktable team controls or decides.
The maintainers of any distribution (not only Ubuntu) are the ones who decide
which versions get included in their repositories. The authors of the
respective libraries and programs have no say in that.
It's not at all uncommon to see distributions stick to old versions of
programs and libraries, esp. in LTS editions, which are supposed to be stable
for a long(er) time. And the user that chooses a LTS version presumably wants
that stability as well.
Remco.
