I suggest you report a bug. If the bug and security fixes are significant then the package will be updated sooner.

Ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution and packages can be left in favour of stability. This is especially true in the LTS releases.

Looking at the dependency of apitrace 9 from Ubuntu focal, I see a dependency on libwaffle-1-0(>=1.6.0) which isn't available in bionic either.
So bringing apitrace version 9 to bionic seems to need additional work, if it is possible at all.

Can you help with this problem?
