Thanks for that. As long as moodle will be in Debian sid/unstable only; it will be mildly usefull. As soon as it gets more contributors working on the Debian package, it can enter testing (currently named "jessie", will get named "stretch" in about a month or so). It would be awesome if a long-term-maintained moodle (like the 2.7 branch) get shipped with a stable Debian release like e.g. stretch. Sites like Tilburg University rely on a stable security-maintained moodle. We're not realy that eager to implement and upgrade to new moodles with new features every month or so. We'd rather do such a thing every 2 year or so. I'm sure we're not the only one. BTW, there's http://bugs.debian.org/775842, listing bugs in a previous moodle version. Will get to investigate which one of those are no longer present in https://packages.debian.org/sid/moodle .
