Just because it's a new version (which seem to fix many bugs, according to the changelog). We have 1.3.3 in backports.
conky.sourceforge.net
I have the .deb ready, compiled in kernel 2.6.12-10-686, if you'd like. Compiling was extremely easy as well (my second ever compilation). I'll post a howto to the forum, although I know you don't need it :PpP

only conky 1.3.5 is in dapper :(
I guess that's part of being debian-based? /sarcasm
Compiling was very easy. Here is the wiki page (I just created it): wiki.ubuntu.com/HowtoConky140
The howto in the forum should appear in a while (same instructions)
