Moodle has just one new upload in Debian, but it looks like a lot of
good changes. Here is the changelog entry:

moodle (1.8.2-2) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Adopt orphaned package (closes: #494642)
   * Acknowledge security NMU (closes: #489533, #432264)
   * Add Vcs-* fields to debian/control
 .
   Release-critical and security bugs:
 .
   * Depend on smarty instead of using the embedded copy that is shipped
     with Moodle (closes: #471158, #488525, #504345)
   * Patch security bug in the embedded (and customised) copy of phpmailer
     (CVE-2007-3215, closes: #429339, #429190)
   * Patch cross-site scripting bug (CVE-2008-3326, closes: #492492)
   * Patch snoopy input sanitising (CVE-2008-4796, closes: #504235)
   * Upgrade to new LGPL version of domxml-php4-to-php5 (closes: #496069)
 .
   Trivial bug fixes:
 .
   * Depend on zip (closes: #408995)
   * Add mysql-client as an alternative to postgresql-client
     (closes: #417554, #469094)
   * Recommend php5-ldap (closes: #425839)
   * Delete unnecessary script with bashisms (closes: #489634)
 .
   Lintian warnings:
 .
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0
   * Add homepage field to debian/control
   * Remove cvsignore file
   * Remove extra license file
   * Depend on yui instead of using an embedded copy

So it looks like moodle has a new maintainer in Debian, which is
awesome, but moodle isn't exactly what I would call a trivial package
so it will probably take some work.
