This is a good point. It would be great to have mox packaged in more distributions. I spoke with a package maintainer about this. They understandably need to be able to upgrade unattended from old versions to a new version. In the past year, admins have had to run an upgrade command here and there (e.g. to reparse all the messages after the parsing code changed). I hope to make all this more automatic this year. That should make it more appealing for packagers (and for all non-distro-using admins too!).

I think a new debian LTS release will be coming up soonish, we probably won't make that.
