(As a side note, I'm not very enthusiast with such templates. I found
that very unfriendly)

About wkhtmltopdf, like you I will be glad to upload a new release but
as I previously said there is *no new upstream release* other than the
one already present in unstable.

There was a 0.10 branch without a final release. Now there is a 0.11
branch but I don't know if it will be same.

The major changes with wkhtmltopdf >= 0.10 is that the main binary was
split in binaries + libraries, it means that it needs some extra work.

I've started to package the wkhtmltopdf 0.11-rc1, it's far from being
finished. It's not possible to upload it as it is, it needs some
patching (again, because it's a *development release*).

Raphaƫl already suggested to upload it to experimental, but I don't want
to upload such package with very new/unstable ABI and update it
regularly to follow the development changes.

IMO, it's not suitable yet for Debian (even for experimental).

However, I will contact the upstream developer and ask him if there is a
roadmap for the next stable release.

I suggest you to do the same, tell the upstream your interest in a new
stable release. It will help to get it in Debian as soon as it will be
released.
