Officially, it is a SHOULD (as pointed out by Volker), practically it is
pretty much consider as a MUST unless there is/are valid reason(s) not 
to.
The choice is then left up to the packager and the reviewer.

But I'm Matej here, could you expand why you would not want the latest 
version
from upstream?
