Since Etch is now the stable distribution, it is frozen, which means
that no newer apps will enter it (except for security fixes). 
If you want more up-to-date apps you'd rather use Lenny, which is the
actual testing distribution. It has the advantage of being up-to-date
while keeping a good level of stability. It's meant for final users
(unlike stable, which is meant for servers)

If you want to have the last version of every program then you should
use Sid, which is always the unstable distribution... but, as you might
have guessed from the name, it's not very stable.
