The Gnus in Ubuntu is not byte-compiled for the emacs22 package, so
Emacs will use the one that comes with Emacs which may lack some
feature that you want in your .gnus.el. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnus/+bug/133621.

Forget about the Gnus that comes with Ubuntu, it is completely
unmaintained, very outdated and lacks documentation
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnus/+bug/227925).
See http://gnus.org/distribution.html how to get a newer version.
