Thanks to all for good clues. v451 of "less" is desirable because it adds support for GNU regular expressions. Since the "to do" section of http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/less.html says:
"A new upstream version is available: 451, you should consider packaging it." It looks like it will eventually move through "unstable", and next iteration of "testing". I'll keep an eye open for it. I'll try the back-ports route if my need becomes pressing. Incidentally, Debian packages tracking is very pleasant; I find "experimental", "unstable", "testing", "stable" process quite sensible, effective.
