I'd guess 0.24 is too new for the Debian folks to consider it "stable".

Someone would need to compile and package it for Squeeze, which the 
Debian folks will probably do, in time. That's the purpose of Sid, to 
test it and see if it merits inclusion in the latest "stable" version, 
before it goes mainstream.

So it's a good sign that 0.24 is in queue for "testing" (Sid).
