Note that rather than policies, the major reason UbuntuGIS received little updates is that no-one found time to do so (eg I'm currently on a project where I have to use a windows desktop). If you or your customers rely on UbuntuGIS updates, please consider helping out packaging or contracting someone to do so. Debian GIS is in a good state now, so it is usually only a matter of backporting. I'm ready to help anyone who would like to contribute.
