Yeah, we moved Netrek to Launchpad and the greater community involvement
has been fantastic.  Well, at least we get each release packaged within
days instead of five years.

By the way, there is a PPA already for a recent version of Xastir, there
are Launchpad moderated bug reports for Xastir and they point it out.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xastir/+bug/492867

(As upstream for pptp, poptop (pptpd), and Netrek, I love digging in the
bug reports at the distribution level, they are such an inspirational
source of fixes.)

If you need something more recent, you could ask Kamal Mostafa to
package again.

If someone thinks there should be more frequent releases, and the
release engineer can't afford to do them, then anybody could volunteer
to release tarballs of CVS for packaging.
