Yes, the version of AA you have packaged with Hardy is at least a year
out of date.  There is a whole category of maps (they usually end in
"2k8" because the AA 7.mumble release was branded "2008") that the 6.10
AA crashes after reading, and they are run on about half the servers on
the net right now.

All the instructions i found on the net for building AA dpkgs referenced
sources for 6.10, which may be why you guys are behind.  i'm not sure
how to build a dpkg, and I couldn't find anyone on the AA IRC channel
who knew how (only one claimed to be using Linux), but i managed to
download and build (without dpkgs) the latest AA from SVN
<svn://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/trunk> and it works great (I last
updated and tested a fresh build a few hours ago).

The AA developers are currently recommending the SVN build for
performance reasons on IRC, but I know little about any release
schedules.
