Have you heard any more from the IEEE?

Excellent! No objections whatsoever. 
You should already have permissions (I hope!)

Please add a line or two to the Debian install Wiki...
http://sourceforge.net/p/ghdl-updates/wiki/Debian%20Instructions/

Casual Debian users like me are used to "apt-get install" but I imagine
this needs some other command "dpkg -i ..." yes?

And then I don't know the implications, if we have to uninstall it (and
how) it to avoid "held packages" errors when there's an official release
to upgrade to...
