It's in Debian Unstable for about 1.5 months now and in Debian Testing
for about three weeks. :-)

Ubuntu will likely adopt the package from Debian, but maybe not for
their upcoming 12.10 release anymore.

Thanks to Julien Cristau there is now a patch for the 4.0.3
interoperability issue:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/screen.git;a=commitdiff;h=8700b331b4071c8158be4d6891cb7909859165a9

It looks fine after some initial testing and I'll soon upload a
package to Debian Unstable including this patch. The package will
likely make it in the next Debian Stable release.

While testing that patch, I though noticed a few unexpected things
with regards to locking screen which also happen without the patch.
More details later though as I'm currently busy with other things.

                Kind regards, Axel
