As you have found - you cannot "upgrade" this way. Repositories are usually stable code bases updated only with stability and security fixes - rarely newer versions of applications.

The eclipse team have packaged v1.8.2 of ant via their PPA.

If you want to go down that route

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eclipse-team/debian-package

sudo apt-get update
