Pan website links to two repositories for previous releases of Ubuntu, both
of them being out-of-date though. Looking at launchpad.net, the appropriate
page for pan package seems to be here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pan

The latest package version is 0.133-1.1ubuntu1, so it probably doesn't
include patches from K Haley's git repository. Not sure whether there's
some PPA out there, but I haven't found any.

Also, there are 27 open bugs for pan package at launchpad.net, incl.
those with contributed patches, which I guess should be handled somehow
(when the right time approaches, that is):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pan

FWIW, the Debian package database lists 0.133-1.1 as the latest version and
reports 40 bugs open for Pan:
