I'm quite sorry of this mess - I didn't watch closely enough and apparently
that version was picked up from debian by ubuntu automatically. I'm not an
ubuntu developer so I cannot change the version there. You will need to file
a bug in ubuntu bug tracker and find some ubuntu developer to change the version.

Alternatively you can try building mtd-utils yourself or upgrading yo ubuntu natty
beta, which has newer version already.
