Where do you mean?  I don't see them in
http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/

While I agree with you about putting xmonad in the official ubuntu
repo, new versions of xmonad are (have been) coming out on a monthly
basis.  Users (i.e me!) don't want to wait 6 months to get a new
version.  An alternative would be to attempt to have the packages
offered as a backport.  Info here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

About the package itself:  dpkg is telling me I need libc6 v2.7-1.  I
have 2.6.1.  When I compiled xmonad from source on my other machine
which had libc6 2.6.1, xmonad ran fine.  My question then is does it
really require 2.7-1?
