Sure ;)

For Debian, it is related to our workflow.
For now, we are in freeze. That means that testing & unstable are not
supposed to change much. This is the case until Wheezy is released.
It is why I uploaded the package to experimental.
Once wheezy is released, I will upload two packages in unstable. After
10 days without any bugs, they will reach testing (future Jessie). It is
basically a rolling release.
In parallel, if necessary, I could upload the packages into the Debian
backports (http://backports-master.debian.org/) once Wheezy is released.

About Ubuntu, I just filled a sync request from Debian => Ubuntu Raring.
Since subsurface didn't reach the mirror, I've only been able to fill it
for libdivecomputer:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1144944

If we are lucky, someone in Ubuntu will ack quickly and we will have it
for Raring.
