See:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#Updating%20programs

Program updates are very rare in released versions of Ubuntu - to get
newer versions you update the whole Ubuntu install to a newer version,
or use other repositories or PPA's. Security updates are the exception
to this rule.

This is not just for Sylheed, but _all_ programs.
