I am a Linux packager for RPM and DEB based systems and I also teach

I became curious to know why the gretl packages for Ubuntu/Debian are
lagging behind the times. The repositories seem stalled at 1.8.1 and I
got interested in building an up-to-date deb for gretl-1.8.7.
Debian testing and Ubuntu Lucid both have gretl 1.8.7. I would suggest
you to get in touch with Dirk, who's been doing an outstanding job at
packaging gretl for debian for years.
