I am planning to upload 4.0.10 to experimental in the next week or so. As for multiple concurrent versions, this isn't something the Debian packages are suited to. If you have a need for multiple concurrent versions, you will need to look at other options. On other hand, as long as you aren't using mod_perl in the same apache instance, you can quite happily run multiple instances of the same version; just make sure the configurations point to different databases and cache locations.
