Please keep discussions on the list.   AFAIK, Debian has no service
similar to Ubuntu PPA packages.  So, if the version you get from apt
is too old, all you can do is build from source.  Some people suggested
getting swi-prolog from Debian testing.  That may work too.  Building
for source however is pretty trivial if you have the dependencies
installed.
