The Debian stable missed the release with some "fixed minor memory leaks" for too little. There is a new upstream version - 3.6.1 (this month). I will put it in Debian Sid this weekend. Then we have to wait about 10 days in Debian Testing. Total 15 days waiting (5 - Sid + 10 Testing). Before the end of April it should be available by backports[0]. It is a good moment to do that.
