Sorry for the status change, my fault.
Maybe it is well know, but I would point out that debian packages for version 
>= 1.9.7 are ready and available at 

git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-moodle/moodle.git
Browsable version:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-moodle/moodle.git;a=summary

I have just compiled/installed the versione 1.9.9-1 on a 10.04 Server
and *seems* that everything works! I needed that upgrade because the
security department of my university blocked the site for these bugs. If
there is some brave/desperate person out of there that needs the
upgrade, here there are the steps: (however, remember, this package is
highly experimental, do not use it if you do not NEED it)

(make a db backup... just in case)
A $ mysqldump -u  <moodle_user> -h localhost -p <moodle_db> | gzip -9 > 
backup_db_moodle_1.9.4.sql.gz


B $ sudo aptitude install git-core # if you don't have it
B $ git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-moodle/moodle.git moodle-dev
B $ cd moodle-tag
B $ git checkout debian/1.9.9-1
B $ sudo aptitude install build-essential debhelper quilt # if you don't have 
them
A $ sudo aptitude install libjs-yui libphp-magpierss php-fpdf libphp-pclzip # 
if you don't have them
B $ dpkg-buildpackage # May require some minutes
B $ cd ..
A $ sudo dpkg -i moodle_1.9.9-1_all.deb

and follow the on-screen instructions. If you already have a moodle
installation do not let the installer to "prepare" the db and do  not
let it to replace your configuration (db/password/usernames...).
Moreover, it is a good idea to remove the just installed development
tools from any non testing server. Actually it is a good idea to build
the packages on a development machine and copy just the needed deb file,
I have marked with "A" the operations that must be executed on the
server and with "B" the operations that must be executed on the
development machine, of course, in addiction you have to copy the
moodle_1.9.9-1_all.deb file.
