That was over 4 years ago, so yes, somewhat obsolete.
Comparing against your packaging there are some important and
encouraging changes:
- upstream version 2.3.2 -> 3.0.11
- upstream has a debian dir which is at least a starting point
(includes a debian/copyright)
- non-free image seem to be gone
- non-free xmlparser (Fuzzy) no longer in trunk
- standard TeX styles no longer included
- compiles out of the box
It looks like upstream is in a far better state now then it was back then.
