Why? for a newer package? Arch will also ship packages that are not
meant to be released yet due to missing functionality like they did with
udisks2 and break your system every other month with little warning
and sometimes when it could have quite easily been avoided, raising
other questions.

Means on Ubuntu you may get a slightly newer package and you could
change the password used to encrypt your passwords but I can't see it
being worth it when you could just a more secure mechanism like a ssh
tunnel/agent.
