I think development has stopped -- upstream.  Some people (presumably
the Debian people) have been developing patches.  I imagine that some of
these patches are for security fixes; I know that some are added features.
Either way, I think screen is still considered "deprecated" in favor of 
tmux.
Whatever works for you, I suppose, but in my personal experience, tmux has
been much better (It is also highly customizable.  I had to play with it
for a bit to make it function more like screen, and if you don't like the
status bar thing, you can get rid of it.)
