Thankyou for helpful answer, from what I can see new-features are minor, and there are likely to be many significant bugfixes ongoing that will need including one way or another.
In any case, I note neither focal 3.0.1-0ubuntu1 package, nor debian-unstable 3.0.2-1 package succeed in compiling atop bionic18.04 system... In both cases all the apparent dependencies can be satisfied (e.g. backported debhelper, likely nothing else apparently needing backporting). Definitely worth making some PPAs with a view to bionic-backports in my view!. Can create a separate bug-report if needbe.

( darktable feature releases are traditionally released each Christmas. ) Please note that darktable 3.x is NOT backward compatible with darktable 2.6.3. So there is no way for a user of a more current version of darktable to even use darktable 2.6.3. A supplement problem is that running 2.6.3 when you have a 3.0.x db (eg. if upgrading Ubuntu to 20.04 in place) results in a totally silent fail at load. Only if run from a terminal do you see the '... db is too new ... Aborting ...' message.
