It is not a key GTK+ package (few other packages depend on it) and it
is not poorly packaged. The only problem is your expectation that a
1.5-year-old stable (i.e. "long term support") distribution should
contain packages that are less than one year old. If you want recent
packages, you should use testing (like I do) or unstable.
