The whole point of things like Debian and Ubuntu is that a set of
packages are frozen in time; you know they'll work with each other.

Alternatively, you can run your own package repository, have users add
it to their apt configuration, and updates to the packages there will
be picked up by the update tool like any security fix or recommended
upgrade.
