Well, in principle we always aim to have the latest upstream version in
sid, and etch will then after a while automatically be updated with this
version. However, this is more difficult than it sounds, because phpBB
keeps updating their database structure between releases, and it's a
pain, at least in our current package but also in general, to change the
db layout on every minor version increment.

We've discussed this and the plan is now as follows:
- We'll update phpBB 2.0.x to the latest version, but will leave out
anything that requires database modification unless it's absolutely
necessary;
- We'll package phpBB 3.x (currently in beta) with a better
infrastructure for managing the database backend, where possible.
