Debian/Ubuntu isn't alone in this. It should be noted that the majority of nodes are using Linux and of those, the 0.2.4 package is still not available unless you're running some flavor of "untested" or other bleeding edge distro. Of course that doesn't stop operators from simply downloading the latest package themselves from the Tor project or compiling from source.
