The current Debian maintainer has been missing, but supposedly returning soon. In the meantime, I've been maintaining updated Debian packaging in the debian/sid branch of: https://github.com/rvandegrift/efl https://github.com/rvandegrift/e Soon, I hope we'll be able to get these into the archive. > If you compare this to other mainstream distros like OpenSUSE or Fedora > which ship really up to date packages I can't really see why our code is > not interesting for debian while it is for other distros.

So end-users that do not follow EFL development might not know/care about new features. Those that do probably build from source.
