  Every package in ubuntu is frozen when a new ubuntu release is out, on
a 6 months basis.

  AFAIK, there are some solutions to have regular upgrades (in order of
my preferences) :

    - use debian/unstable, but regularly moving also means introducing
new bugs from time to time.
    - use backports, but backports does not seem official enough to me.
    - use apt-pinning, but this is hell to maintain.

  If i were you, i would stick with ubuntu's version and ignore
out-of-date engine's messages.
