findutils 4.5.x is considered alpha by its developers. As such, the
Debian package maintainer understandably only uploads those releases to
experimental.
The latest upstream release still is 4.4.2, cf.

@Paul: Has the bug you encountered already been reported to the BTS? If
so, you might want to add some detail to it, e.g. the hint that it is
supposedly fixed in 4.5.10. If not, you might want to file a bugreport.
