Hi Brian,

The preferred way of requesting updates is to file a severity wishlist
bug against the packages in need of an update with the desired version.
 That cuts down on duplicate requests and provides a consistent forum
for users and developers to track the progress of these requests.  If
you install the "bts" package on your system and have a reasonably
configured MTA, this can be accomplished quite quickly.  Also, are you
aware of the "antlr3" package in Debian?

Cheers,
tony
