Packages (at least for Debian) are not up to date

Ran into a lot of issues installing and running through the package installed through apt. Spent hours troubleshooting only to see that new code was pushed recently that wasn't in the source code that was installed on my system. I built from source and it worked immediately. Thanks for making the fixes! Would be great if the repos reflected the most up to date code for those that try that route first.
