that will gonne be difficult. 4.0.8 is even not in testing and you
probably mean 4.0.7. :-)

But yes, there are plans for doing this for stretch and jessie. I can't
say any time window for that. Due some needed tests before a upload can
happen it's mostly a complete weekend that is needed to prepare all
things. And a upload will need to go backports NEW due new binary
package for kicad-doc-id.
