Maybe Ubuntu does not actually contain 0.8,2 but just an instruction  
to download 0.8.2. But maybe that version is specified ("pinned") in  
Ubuntu Hardy and will not automatically download the newest GNUmed  
until a future release codes an instruction to use a newer version.

Ideally Ubuntu would permit whatever is the newest (highest) GNUmed  
release to be used. Wouldn't Ubuntu (like Debian) have a global  
command to "update all of my packages" which would hopefully be done  
by people who download any release of Ubuntu / Debian?
