That's the way it's always been, qgis.org packages are built against
stock ubuntu. It's a less complicated/cleaner approach. If you want
newer deps you use ubuntugis. Generally mixing the 2 repos does not play
nice.

It should actually be possible to setup a launchpad recipe to rebuild
master in ubuntugis-testing or some other ppa and it is quite easy to
recompile master oneself too.

Thanks,
Alex
