FTR, he already is, per the (short) thread starting at [1].  Thanks, though!

The ncbi-entrez-direct package in Ubuntu is synced with Debian.  I would
suggest that you work with the Debian maintainers (cc:ed) in order to get
this package updated.

Note that new upstream versions of a package will not be added to stable
releases of Ubuntu.  Unfortunately the timing of this question is such that
any update will miss inclusion in the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release, but you may
still find it useful to work with the Debian maintainers to prepare an
updated package which you could then build in a launchpad ppa for use on
Ubuntu.

Hope that helps,
