Because every new version is carefully compiled from source, tested and
integrated with the rest of the Debian system.  It takes a bit of time
to get 50,000 packages working together smoothly and reliably.  While
that work is underway new upstream versions are sometimes released too
late to be included in the next Debian release.  Such packages are often
available from the Backports archive.
