I'm trying to use the -data option of pnmmontage which is was introduced into (upstream) version 10.06 of pnmmontage in 2002 (see http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/stable/doc/HISTORY?view=markup). While I'm not sure if the version numbers can be compared easily, it appears that Ubuntu is at 10.0 while the upstream netpbm libraries are at 10.35.51, which is 6 years covering 40 or so releases ahead of Ubuntu/Debian's version. What can be done to bring Ubuntu (and Debian) back up to date with the upstream versions of netpbm? Are there some licensing issues that are holding the repackaging up?
