This is not a bug, this is the part of the Ubuntu way of handling
updates to applications. The default for users is that their experience
does not change unless and until they upgrade to a new release. This is
very intentional and this stability is part of the core value
proposition for users.
In the case where a user would like a more up to date package on their
system then the one that is offered in the repositories for that
version, these users have some options, including creating or finding a
PPA, or using backports.
So, this is not a bug, but rather a proposal to dramatically realign
some core principles about how we develop software. It's a good and
useful discussion to have, but not in a bug report. Blueprints, the
ubuntu-devel mailing list and other forums would be more fruitful for
such a discussion. Therefore, I am setting this bug to "opinion".
