You will find that almost all web-mapping/gis related packages in Ubuntu 8.04 
are far from bleeding edge (GDAL 1.4.4, Mapserver 5.0, Mapnik 0.4) so I don't 
think it is a single package slip-up but rather a choice for a whole bunch. 
It might have to do something with 8.04 being a LTS (Long Term Support) 
release, but don't take my word for it.
