Dan, have you tried contacting Emmanuel Beffara, developer of rubber?
The project home page is at
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~beffara/soft/rubber/

Upstream communication in Ubuntu is a lot more fluid with larger
projects like GNOME than it is with small ones like rubber. This seems
sensible to me. I'm not a dev or a MOTU, but it's apparent that package
maintainers can't start updating stale source packages, unless they are
of high importance to many users. That amounts to assuming maintenance
responsibility not just for the packaging (as in
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/rubber/1.1-2.2, this
August) but for the source itself, and is probably pretty burdensome. I
love rubber, but I don't think it fits that high-profile category.

Let's try and get Mr. Beffara to push out another release, so the
maintainers can simply refresh the source with the same packaging.
