the current status is: This package is only available in woody, the current stable distribution. So, please feel free to upload it fresh to unstable if you want (but you'll need a sponsor for this). For woody (or any stable distribution), things are a bit outdated most times. That is the reason why it is called stable. If you can provide the security team with the necessary information about the nature of the bug, they can do a security upload. Please see http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-security for details. For the other issues how to deal with new packages, please see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ and http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ .
