I've tried to find a later package for ubuntu/debian on a number of occasions without success. Latest I found was 0.34

This is a rough and ready 'install' that worked for me, your mileage may vary. I've cobbled a quick bash script to automate what I can. save it as ~/bin/get_osmosis then run

chmod u+x ~/bin/get_osmosis

to make it executable. 

#================================================================================
#!/bin/bash
# Get and setup latest osmosis
#1.	change to home directory
cd ~

#2.	download the latest osmosis-x.xx.tgz from bretth.dev.openstreetmap.org
wget -c -t0 http://bretth.dev.openstreetmap.org/osmosis-build/osmosis-latest.tgz

#3.	extract to your home directory
tar -x -z -v -f Downloads/osmosis-latest.tgz
#=================================================================================

#4.	make osmosis executable (x.xx is the version number, not readily visible
 	until extracted)
	chmod u+x osmosis-x.xx/bin/osmosis

when done execute osmosis with
~/osmosis-x.xx/bin/osmosis [parameters]

I'm sure there are better ways to do it but I didn't have time to do better when I first had to update.
