Help is always welcome. Personally I haven't been spending a great
deal of time/effort on compiz because the manner in which the upstream
author manages the project is *really* burdensome and it's really easy
for me to lose energy/time/motivation.

I think the original plan was to move to the 0.9.x version, and we
started that with uploads to experimental a couple months back. however,
the software proved to be less than super stable (crashy, leaking memory,
etc), so it hasn't been transitioned into unstable.
unfortunately i made the mistake of doing the experimental-targeted work
in the unstable branch, thinking it'd be a quick transition, and now we're
stuck in a kind of in-between state unsure of what the next upload to unstable
will be.

and it's already there. the versions are all messed up because
the upstream author never took the time to push out the proper tags,
but I believe everything is approximately 0.9.4.
if you'd like to help with updating the compiz packages, you're more than
welcome to join up :)
