Like many distributions, Ubuntu doesn't upgrade to new upstream releases of
its components in a stable release.  Generally, it is more important to
users that they have stability than newer software.  For users who have a
specific need for a newer version, we offer a backports repository.  If you
feel that EVMS 2.5.3 would be appropriate for this, contact the backports
team.
