IIRC, "sugar" refers to the 0.82 Sugar shipped on the most recent OLPC XO
release. "sugar-0.84" is stable and supported, but the most recent upstream
stable release of Sugar is 0.86.

Essentially, the Ubuntu Sugar packages are a complete mess. David Farning is
working on it in
https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive/0.86<https://launchpad.net/%7Esugarteam/+archive/0.86>,
and, while the packages are of beta quality, are IMO your best bet for a
properly packaged Sugar.
