Are there significant bug and security fixes in the new version? If so, please report a bug and it may get upgraded sooner rather than later.
If the gains are only slight then the package will be left.

Ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution and packages are frequently left un-updated. The repositories are not updated just because a new version of a program is released.

 +* Operations with directories (except initial listing) now make less
 +read/write system calls.
 +* Fixed handling of files with optional tail entries (0xe0-0xff): videoclip
 +files created by Sony cameras were missing.
 +* Write operations now correctly return ENOSPC (instead of EIO) when there is
 +no free disk space left.
 +* Fixed max file name length: it's 255 16-bit code units (not 256).
