Look at the update date on that page... Ten years ago, 2005 *was* 
'modern' (LOL).

Wow... Xara, or rather Computer Concepts. I remember them from when they 
were still primarily writing for RISC OS... Oh dear...

But wouldn't looking at the last version in Debian's snapshot archive 
make more sense?

http://snapshot.debian.org/package/xaralx/0.7r1785-7/

That's 'only' from March 2014. Haven't tried working with it, though. So 
no idea if you can use it on current Debian (it does install and open on 
this Testing box).
