As it so happens, I finished updating the GHDL package in that regard and uploaded it just yesterday. It uses the IEEE library sources instead of the OpenIEEE replacement and offers VHDL-2008 support as a result. Since it also introduces a new ghdl-common package to prevent a circular dependency that previously existed, it is going through the NEW queue and will take some time until it appears in the Debian archive.
