According to [1], the package was orphaned in Debian shortly after the
Feisty release, hence the lack of a new version.

The MOTU team [2] consists of about 60 developers, not all of which are
constantly active, and there are more than 17000 packages in Universe
that they have to take care of. Ubuntu largely relies on Debian for
Universe packaging, and due to the disproportion in the numbers above,
it's not possible for them to make up for every delay and mishap.

If you'd like to help with this situation by doing packaging (with or
without becoming a MOTU), [3] is a good place to get started, and a
quick way to contact the team would be to visit #ubuntu-motu on
irc.freenode.net.
