Yes, we know. What we ship are Debian packages of TeX Live 2005, and
this ships this version.
Maybe I come around to update ConTeXt, but this is a non-trivial task,
and I am not sure if I want this.
Of course it would be better if someone steps forward and creates a
debian packages context, which is independent of the texlive packages,
and can be updated regulary. Would be nice...

Very unlikely, sorry. The context in 2005 *DOES* work for many people
and many things, of course new functionality introduced later will not
work. If you need this new functionality, please
- either step forward and create/maintain a Debian context package,
we will happily help you in this!!!
- put the updated context files into your /usr/local/share/texmf tree
Best wishes
