No.

Would have to ask the Debian packagers.

Not hard. Download the source, ./configure, make, make install.

Any instance of 'mythtv-setup' will upgrade the database, and will ask
for permission before proceeding. The master backend only is allowed to
upgrade the database (not slave backends). If run from a terminal, it
will ask for permission before proceeding. If not, it will assume you
want to do so, and update anyway. When you update, it will first make a
dump of the existing database for recovery purposes, and the step
through all the changes needed to convert your database to current.
