Yep, Debian "testing" and "unstable" have relatively up-to-date
packages of monotone.  The last two weeks being a busy holiday season,
and given that 0.25 has just been released, we can certainly expect a
lag w/resp to the "official" Debian package.  I, for one, think Tomas
does a great job with the Debian packages, even uploading Sarge ports
of the package to backports.org.

        http://backports.org/package.php?search=monotone

I believe the monotone source package itself contains all that is
necessary to build a Debian package (the "./debian" directory,
namely).  You could try downloading the source code and running:

  # apt-get install build-essential
  # apt-get build-dep monotone
  $ tar -zxvf monotone-0.25.tar.gz
  $ cd montone-0.25
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
  # dpkg --install ../monotone_0.25-0.1_i386.deb

Where "#" indicates root prompt and "$" indicates user prompt.
