I guess this is since currently both versions are handled by the same source package, so the adoption of the newest upstream version needs a redesign of the way ipython2/3 is currently packaged for Debian? v5.8 is more than one year old by now, and there have been very useful additions since then. I currently install it via pip3 on my work systems, but I'd love to get it through the usual Debian packaging. If any help is needed on this issue I might see what I can do about this, but I have never packaged anything for Debian, so I have no experience with that. kind regards, Christoph
