Thanks for your bugreport!

Pandoc targeted Buster (the next stable Debian release) is updated as 
much as possible with the dependent libraries available.

As soon as those libraries gets updated - which will happen at some 
point _after_ Buster gets released - Pandoc will get updated too.

It is unlikely that a newer pandoc will get backported to stable, due to 
the complexity of backporting Haskell libraries.  It might be possible 
to install pandoc from Debian testing onto a Debian stable system, 
however - at your own risk, obviously (personally I wouldn't mix and 
also do not use backports.debian.org).
