Originally posted by s_j_newbury View PostA normal release will provide security updates for their current version of the package, which means it will be upgraded if you have an old version along with all the updated dependencies. LTS aims to keep dependency versions stable so you'll only be downloading the patched package and only rarely will dependencies require updating. That's why LTS distributions typically have old (non-bleeding-edge/stable) versions.

Maybe you missed my link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_support
Ubuntu policy for managing their LTS releases is their business, if they make it hard for themselves by including unstable* versions of software, that's up to them. Read the definition at Wikipedia link to see how I'm using the term.
* Ubuntu can always stabilise packages themselves - some upstreams don't really do "stable" anyway...
