As you noticed in git, 2.10.8.1 is already packaged but not ready to be
uploaded as an important tool broke which tells me which APIs of mono
changed. It's called mono-api-check [0] and no longer works with Mono
2.10. If you can get it working again I can upload Mono 2.10.8.1 to Debian.

If you want to use the tool a simple use case is:
mono-api-check /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll

If you have questions, join #debian-cli on OFTC, my nick is meebey there.
