MonoDevelop has a terrible plugin API compatibility policy which 
makes Mono-D author only stick to latest released API version 
unless he wants to maintain dozen of different Mono-D builds :(

In practice that means that you pretty much will never be able to 
use MonoDevelop version from repositories in Ubuntu - need to 
either build recent version on your own or use /opt/ bundle by 
simendsjo
