Interesting point. I simply installed PTS as a package using aptitude - see also http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/phoronix-test-suite.1.html. Now that I look at the package in Ubuntu Software Center, under Updates is states "Canonical does not provide updates for Phoronix Test Suite. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community". I also read in the March release of MaxiumumPC that they refused to install PTS as Ubuntu Software Center as it comes up with a "package is of bad quality warning" (see page 69). I had a random look at details for some of the latest test results posted and PTS version variations seem to be common. Given the tests are downloaded prior to running, I'm hoping that the tests are version independent.
