Sad but true. I experience the same. I think our project suffers a bit 
for bad debian + ubuntu packages: they impact a large part of FOSS users.

1) they are packaged tremendously (breaking up packages in a sort fo 
gnome-ish layout), but alas, that mostly works
2) they are just exceeeeeeeedingly old. They do not track releases, 
minor releases, nothing.
