I just wanted to file a bug for Debian. This is the message I got from  
reportbug:

***
Your version (2.4.12-3+b1) of balsa appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
  experimental: 2.5.3-1
***

According to <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/balsa>, it has been  
accepted to experimental on 2017-01-05, so hopefully, it will be in sid  
soon!

Best regards

Andreas
