Even Debian users can download the latest 1.4.3 svn and compile it. 
Linux means you never have to wait on someone else. Here is my
overnight script (I call the binary of scribus 1.4.3 scrib4):
rm -r /usr/local/src/s14x
cd /usr/local/src/
svn co svn://scribus.net/branches/Version14x/Scribus s14x
cd s14x
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus4_svn 
make
make install
cd scribus
ls -l scribus
rm /usr/local/bin/scrib4
ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib4
