I’m the maintainer of the package; I uploaded 5.8.1 a while back to experimental but it failed on a few architectures[1] and I never had the time to dig into the issues, or see if they’ve since been fixed in 5.8.2 or 5.9. It also coincided with having a temporary laptop that wasn’t sufficiently powerful to have a meaningful Debian VM installed, but as of a couple of weeks ago that’s changed and I have a Debian VM again (getting back to polyml was one of the things that was on my mind when setting it up). I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to look at updating the package though, my PhD work is keeping me pretty busy, but hopefully an evening or weekend relatively soon.
