[Ubuntu] DebianGIS Repo

[Jerome Villeneuve Larouche]

Hello Andreas,

I didn't know about backport, thanks for pointing it out. I can't seem 
to find any packages in backport so I can't really tell if our repo is 
more up-to-date. If it's always getting the latest release in unstable, 
indeed it might be at the same point.
