You'll have to talk to Dominic about that. Six Apart doesn't have any
direct involvement in the Debian package, that I'm aware of. He does
pop in here from time to time, but you'll probably get his attention
faster by contacting via whatever method the project page provides.

As far as I can tell, the package is currently equivalent to 4.23
For future reference, the application itself will tell you what
version it is at the bottom of any screen.

MT4.26 and 4.3 both had some minor security fixes included in whatever
else they changed. Neither was considered a mandatory upgrade due to
them, however.

 MT release notes are (mostly) maintained here:

For whatever it's worth, you should note that 4.25 made a lot more
changes than the version bump might suggest, and 4.3 was geared
specifically toward fixing a lot of old bugs and known issues. I would
personally say it's probably a good idea to get yourself up to date.
