That's the version available in Debian Jessie, that is the current
stable version. What is in stable cannot be updated usually, unless
for very important reasons. Considering that newer versions of skrooge
are based on KDE Frameworks, which do not exist in stable, that makes
an update of stable a no-go option.

OTOH, currently there is 2.4.0 in Debian testing & unstable, see:

Ubuntu PPAs are useless for Debian. While I have nothing against your
work, and I can perfectly understand you want the latest versions for
your users, at least a quick glance at that packaging gives me so many
wrong details and bits that I'd recommend users to not use it at all.
