That's up to individual Debian maintainers.

This page:

  http://packages.debian.org/stable/interpreters/hugs.html

lists Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho (ajk@debian.org) as the maintainer.
I have copied this message to him.


[Dear Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho: It's coming up for 6 months since the
last release.  Is there anything we can do to help?]


In the meantime, it's pretty easy to install your own copy of Hugs
using the "Generic Unix" instructions on:

  http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/downloading.htm

Just download the tarfile and run this (based on hugs98-Dec2001/Install):

    tar zxvf hugs98-Dec2001.tar.gz
    cd hugs98-Dec2001/src/unix
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-readline
    cd ..
    make install
    make clean

then put $HOME/local/bin (or whatever) on your PATH.

This isn't as convenient as using the debian package but it's still
pretty easy.
