So I'm guessing you're a Rosegarden dev?

Yes. This is a pain I agree but is the system we (the Ubuntu Studio
project) work with. :( We really try to work with upstream as much as we
can. Thing that slows us down sometimes is that its important for us to
sync from Debian. Kinda a "trickle-down" effect. Though, it can often
mean that by the time it hits Ubuntu the app is a little old.
I do feel that old isn't bad and that people need to stop wanting
"bleeding edge" with everything.
