In a word: Dependencies.

However, since it only depends upon libgd2-xpm and php5-gd, it wouldn't be 
that hard to break dep tracking in this instance.  If I had checked the 
version on the site before I installed, I may have tried the non-ubuntu 
version.  Frankly, Ubuntu is usually not *that* far behind in its 
versions.

Yes, in fact I do.  Multiple users using text consoles, with no available 
alternative.

1.  I can try a newer version of Drupal.
2.  I can not change to other than text based browsers--I know Firefox et 
al work with it, but I must support console based operations as well.

As a side note: changing the useragent to something other than Lynx, 
appears to have no effect, which would seem to blow my theory as to what 
is going on.
