Some kind of source package FAQ:

Q: Why does the Debian unclutter package still use the original sources
   from 1992 (version 8 respectively 0.8) instead of the the unclutter
   project at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/unclutter/,
   version 1.09 respectively 9)?

A: The source code from unclutter 1.09 at SourceForge only adds a
   "-match" option which makes "-not" match also somewhere in the
   title and not just the whole title. This is inferior to the
   "-regex" patch used in the Debian package and hence there is no
   value gained if Debian would use the SourceForge hosted project as
   upstream project.
