Since intrepid is in its beta stage you cant upload new package versions now

I would really appreciate it if you could put it in your PPA, since I
have several computers that I'd like to install it on.
Thanks.

Okay! there seems to be a dependency problem libctl-dev which debian has bumped to 3.0.3 but ubuntu has 3.0.2.1 therefore resulting in a FTBFS

therefore new version of the dependency should be synced from debian and then it(meep) has to be built

which is not possible right now.. (you have to wait a few more days until the next development cycle begins)
