I don't have a better way for this, our packages should be updated in
the futur to match recent versions of debian and ubuntu.

Work is currently under way to rationalize our repositories and
continuous integration processes. During this work, repositories doesn't
hold latest versions of our work. It will be fixed for 2.4 release.

We discontinued our investment on minig for some time and we advise to
use roundcube instead. We have done some work to integrate some OBM
features into roundcube and you can find more informations about it at
http://obm.org/doku.php?id=roundcube

I advise you to go with 2.4 RCs right now.
