[ubuntu-uk] Package Management

Any released version (i.e. Feisty/7.04) will only get backports.
Basically we're talking security updates or critical bugs that are
likely to effect a lot of users.

For new stable packages, you will need to wait until the next release
(Gutsy), or download a package/the source for the new stable app
version.

HTH,
Kris
