I have updated the package for 10.04 as well now. It will take another
couple of hours though to propagate through the system.

However, as Sven said, it is pretty simple to build osm2pgsql from
source in case you need. It is even pretty simple to build your own
ubuntu package. All you need to do is download the source and then run
the command "debuild" in the directory and you should have a working
debian / ubuntu package to install.
