0.8.0 must have just come out.  It did; on the 19th of December.  The packages 
were made on the 2nd of December, and 0.7.0 was the latest available release 
at that time.

I'm sure it will all get caught up eventually.  It's the nature of this entire 
development model, where everybody is on a different schedule.  New distro 
releases ship with old versions of Rosegarden very frequently, for example.  
There's not much to be done about it.  Even when we (Rosegarden) actively try 
to coordinate our own release with that of some distro, it never works out 
well.

Just the nature of the game, I'm afraid.
