there are several ways to search the package status in Debian,
see

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=roundup
http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/roundup.html

Kai is our new maintainer and he uploaded 1.4.20 in June
so it is in unstable and will be in the next Debian stable release.
You can help Kai to package 1.4.21 now, that we have released it. ;)
If there are issues with older versions you could try to promote a 
backport.

As for the amazon images, I believe the image creators should just include 
a newer version of roundup.

Best,
Bernhard
