Yes, it falls under MOTU since it is a universe package. No
one has
reported the issue yet[1], so feel free to open a bug in
Launchpad. If
you're interested in preparing a patch for Dapper, please
see the Ubuntu
Security Update Procedures[2], though we don't usually do
version
upgrades, we just take security fix patches. If you want to
see
wordpress 2.0.5 in Dapper, then you probably want to examine
the
backports policy[4].
(It looks like 2.0.5 just got into Debian unstable[3].)

In general, it's probably best to open a bug report. From
there, you
can follow either the SUP, backport, or Stable Release
Updates[5]
procedures to see some movement on the issue. 
I hope that helps,
