as has already been mentioned, just grab the tarball and install it yourself. But, you have reminded me... the release went final but the debian package hasn't been updated so it 1) can't find the file for download and 2) if you manually download it and rename it, it can't install because the md5 sum doesn't match... I'm off to check the bug reports and file one if needed. A
