The Scrapy version in the Ubuntu/Debian python-scrapy package is quite old. I suggest you use the Ubuntu packages provided by the Scrapy project instead: http://doc.scrapy.org/topics/ubuntu.html (APT repo available too).
It would be great if we could synchronize the Debian package provided by the Scrapy project with the one available in Ubuntu/Debian, but not I'm not sure what's the procedure for that.
