Hi,

The latexmk version in Debian is 3.07a, which was released in 2004.
Why hasn't it been updated?

FYI:

http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk/

Regards,

It is orphaned and waits for someone stepping in to maintain it:

which says:

This package has been orphaned, but someone intends to maintain it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is there really someone who intends to maintain it?

Followed by a link to the bug report where you can see who has/had the
intentions to maintain it.

Why don't you ask the person who last ITA'ed the package?
