Indeed, though notthing happened much since some time:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/opencollada.git/

I think we (you? I got fed up with NEW...) should upload it asap.

Updates can then still happen :)

Indeed, especially as it's a NEW packge and needs to go through NEW
and *then* blender neeeds to enable it with the waiting time of 10 days.
And the freeze is on Nov 5....
