Thats because the package kernel-default includes a copy of ndiswrapper 0.8! 
 
I know this is bad! :-) 
 
If they manually delete the file 
/lib/modules/2.6.5-<version>-default/extra/ndiswrapper.ko 
 
before they install the new version of ndiswrapper, they will get the new version. 
 
Hope this helps,
