Hey,

That statement is not really accurate, while we had some issues in the 
past Ubuntu (I'm sure we can find some updates missing at some points in 
any distribution),  we does most of the updates to .1, .2 etc, 
especially in LTS cycles. Our schedule doesn't align so nicely with the 
GNOME one recently and .1 comes out during our release freeze so we have 
to ship it as updates rather than as part of the release though

For the record on that file-roller update:

- we reported several of the issues mentioned upstream

- we backported a number of the fixes for those issues in our package 
before upstream rolled new tarballs
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/3.6.0-0ubuntu2
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/3.6.0-0ubuntu3

- file-roller 3.6.1.1 was uploaded to quantal updates before Bastien 
wrote that email stating that we don't do updates:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1069443
