Thank you for reaching out. Later versions of fprintd and libpam-fprintd are 
available in experimental: 
	https://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/fprintd

Unfortunately, fprintd got removed from testing [0] because of [1] (FTBFS with 
GCC-10).

As for why the fprintd/libpam-fprintd are not in unstable; you should talk to 
Laurent (in CC). It seems our paths on these packages have not crossed, and I 
personally haven't touched these since 2016. Laurent: you should probably 
remove me from uploaders (and add yourself); if by any means you consider my 
uploaders' status to be blocking you, by all means feel free to do what feels 
best for fprintd!

Regards,
	OdyX
