The reason he pointed it out and "picked" on it... it is a resolved
issue with regards to this list. The Debian Maintainer has release
0.98.1 into Sid and Testing.

This Bug is closed.

Debian Stable is that. If you must have 0.98.1, you should also be using
"backports"... at least I used to until I just used Sid for everything.
Backports help extend Stable's longevity and "freshness" a bit... but it
is no guarantee 0.98.1 will be there.

This thread you happen to pickup on, was indeed resolved by the upload
to incoming for Sid of 0.98.1... dunno there isn't much more to say than
you need to light a fire under the Debian side of things to get it into
stable.
