There's no need for an _official_ repository (i.e. one endorsed by
Debian). It just has to have a reasonable uptime ;)

I'm not sure I fully understand when you say "mine are the ones in Debian
itself". It seems they're the official Debian packages from what you say
below, but I could be wrong. Could you elaborate? (sorry if this is a
silly question, but my Debian knowledge is zero, so I really count on you
guys giving me some directions)

That makes sense. I have cc'ed Jay on my post, so let's wait a little for
him to speak up. If that does not happen, I will point to your packages.
