OK, Debian has 2.0.1 (but there is a bug in the packaging I think).

I've filed a sync request for 2.0.1-1 with Ubuntu (-1 is the Debian
package version), and I'm filing a bug report with a suggestion for an
-2 package.

My delta uses our provided icon installing, rather than Debian's package
trying to do it, and also patches the .desktop file to remove the
"Education" category - in favour of pulling in my new "extra-xdg-menus"
package, which provides an "Electronics" menu.
