see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc for the available boinc versions for the different Ubuntu releases.
As you can see, the latest available version in the official repositories is 7.0.27.
There are PPAs with higher versions (e.g. https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/boinc with 7.0.60 development release). Maybe one of the PPAs provides what you need. And in any case you can create a bug report requesting an upgrade to the 7.0.28 version (you should give some reasoning in such upgrade request). You have to be aware that also Debian is still on older versions (except 'Debian experimental').

Can you help with this problem?
