If you can get gambas to compile on a debian system (I have really struggled) please let me know as this is the block to getting an update out.
the other option (which is what I do) is to compile your project on the debian version, this prevents the "bytecode too recent" problem and creates a version debian users can use. remember the debian philosophy is a bit different and software packages don't get updated as other distros.
