Not yet.
Steffen, there is a major problem with Clustal X: it links to Qt, which
is GPL unless one has a commercial license. Therefore, we are not
allowed to compile Clustal X in Debian. I contacted upstream, and they
are actively looking for a solution.
So the problem for updating clustlw in Debian, is that the clustalx
package is built from it, and that Clustal X 2.0 is not yet
redistributable. We could of course upload a clustalx package for the
version 1.83, that would be quite easy, but I think that upstream will
soon inform me of the solution they found (in the best case, a
relicensing to GPL).
PS: in a private email, upstream asked that we distribute the LICENCE
file, so I will add it again to the source package.
Have a nice day,
