I'm working on putting Erlang 27 into Debian. It is currently in the
experimental branch. In order to upload it to unstable, I'll have to
review all its reverse dependencies and file bug reports for those
which don't build using Erlang 27 (preferably with patches). Also,
Erlang 27 requires autoconf 1.72, which is not in Debian unstable yet.
Anyway, I expect Erlang 27 to be in unstable in a month or two,
depending on how difficult it would be to port most of the packages
which depend on it.

Cheers!
