According to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucobol >, version
5 is already in unstable and experimental.  Perhaps you should get in
touch with the maintainer and offer your assistance?

Or is this ITP for version 3 as opposed to version 5?

  Description : COBOL compiler

GnuCOBOL is a COBOL compiler, formerly known as OpenCOBOL.
It implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, COBOL 2002
and COBOL 2014 standards, as well as many extensions included
in other COBOL compilers.

GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and compiles the translated
code using the native C compiler on various platforms,
including Unix/Linux.
