yes it is.

yes because if you check the details about the latest versions it requires
a newer version of gnustep. which just got (and still is) being built
in sid.

indeed. and there's not much people working on software linking against
gnustep on debian. you used to maintain a few pakcages too...

i'm sure those maintainers and developers are working hard to
accomplish this. still you're free to help :)
