Sure, here is the changelog:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/h/hfsprogs/hfsprogs_332.14-4/changelog

Tell them (Ubuntu) to do something like:
dget -x 
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hfsprogs/hfsprogs_332.14-4.dsc

and compile the program.

A good start would be to ask them to have their CVS/Subversion/whatever
repository "revealed" and not just snapshots of their software when they
release a new point release of MacOS X.

The address to complain to would be https://bugreport.apple.com or
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
