Firstly, there needs to be a Debian package up to date for it. If there
isn't one, I'll try to build one and send it to Hamish Moffatt. I
already have the basics, I just need to rebuild against the official
release tarball.

Then we need to file a bug against the gerbv in Ubuntu, with something
like "Please sync ...... from Debian". That is probably best coming from
a maintainer though, so I'll as William Grant, or we can just file a bug
as a user (priority Wishlist), "Can we have latest version 'X' as in
Debian"
