A developers' overview is here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/bitcoin

That page lists maintainers, and which releases was made by whom.  It 
also links to source package of newest release for each Debian suite.

To fetch a source package, check "debget" or "dget" or "debcheckout" 
(all part of devscripts, I think), or "gbp import-dscs --debsnap" (from 
git-buildpackage).


NB! Please consider change writing style to comment _below_ quoted 
parts, and quote only the parts you comment: That style is more common 
on Debian mailinglists and best if we use same style (no need to defend 
your personal writing style - my concern is _general_ needs _here_)
