There are libexo snapshots available as .deb's (of course, since they're
required for the thunar .deb's :-). I plan to make a 0.3.1.1 alpha
release, hopefully by the end of this month (but don't hold your breath
for it).

Ehm, there's the 4.3.0 release:

There'll also be a 0.2.0 thunar alpha release soon (hopefully).

Well, there's the major problem. The packages will went into
experimental first, then to unstable and after some more time to
testing. This excludes the most interesting group of testers (the Debian
testing users and users of most Debian-derived distros) for the binary
packages. It'd therefore be nice if you could provide packages built on
Debian/testing (a slightly out-dated testing works best from our
experience).
