If you're using stable (woody?), then it's because stable always lags
behind for the sake of stability and reliability.  This is normal.

If you must be bleeding edge, then go with unstable (sid), or if you
want to be ahead of the game but not part of the lunatic fringe, try
testing (sarge).

If you're a newbie, stick with stable, it'll give you the least grief,
even if it's a little behind the times.  Be sure you have the Debian
security updates in your sources.list and occasionally do
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoclean
