I am on this list. If there's a release, it'll be packaged in Debian
unstable within a week, available in testing 5 days later. If people ask
nicely, it'll be in jessie-backports shortly after that.

Yes, the 2.0.6-5 release is a packaging fix, not a new upstream version.
We have packaged 2.0.6 as it was released and unless someone tells me
that there's a new milestone reached and it should be packaged, I won't
know to package it. The traditional way to do this would be by making a
release.

Thanks,
Iain.
