Looks like the mythbuntu package hasn't been updated since late January.

        dpkg -l | grep "mythtv-frontend"
        ii  mythtv-frontend                       2:0.27.0
        +fixes.20140128.f1e620c-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 amd64        Personal
        video recorder application (client)
        
I guess I should be looking for a more up-to-date repository?
