We are not able to directly affect the package and dependencies
available on official Ubuntu repositories. However, we do have our own
Launchpad site that we recommend using instead of the "official Ubuntu
packages". This way we can keep the software up-to-date and we can
provide working dependencies (e.g. modified or specific versions of
certain libraries). Our Launchpad info is available at our website:
http://subsurface-divelog.org/download/ (note that we are 2 minor
releases ahead of official Ubuntu packages)

And the answer to your question is, please, contact the Ubuntu team
for updates for the official packages and their dependencies.
