In this particular case, the Ubuntu bug report that the OP was looking
at was almost a year old and the Ubuntu version is now the same as the
Sid one - it's in fact the exact same package because it's from the
unmaintained-by-Ubuntu section of the Ubuntu repositories. The OP
seemed to have a problem installing it from the Ubuntu repositories in
his source.list and I suggested on ubuntu-users that he try a
different repository...
