Yes we are.  Unfortunately we have faced problems in building / testing
primer3 on some of Debian's release architectures (mips [1]) and thus
the frozen (to be released with next stable version remains at version
2.2.3-1 which is a bit unfortunate (I somehow hoped that somebody of our
team might have contacted you about this.)

I just uploaded the new version to unstable.

Usually we try to follow all new upstream versions soonish - I guess the
MIPS problem was a blocker to some extend.  I did not worked myself on
primer3.  If you want to make sure we will realise and package new
versions as soon as possible it would be a good idea if you would file
a bug report severity wishlist (by using reportbug) saying something
like "new upstream version available".

Kind regards and thanks for providing primer3 as free software
