Generally speaking, Ubuntu takes a snapshot of DebianGis packages from sid/testing.
Currently in DebianGis we have a post RC6 snapshot in use and incidentally
we are near freezing of next stable version (6.0 aka Squeeze). That implies
that we will not release the final 6.4.0, but a patched version which integrates
almost all final fixes. ATM the only change that will be dropped for sure
is the default GUI switching (Tk->Wx). 

More information could be asked on the DebianGis development list.
