Because the Debian maintainer apparently hasn't got round to it yet
(https://bugs.debian.org/892879, though perhaps concerns about
https://bugs.debian.org/906261 are slowing things down), and nobody in
Ubuntu has felt it important enough to diverge from Debian.  I don't
think there's anything more significant than that going on.
