Andrew,

I don't know about Dmitry's package.  I simply pulled the source from 
Github (where the developers keep the latest source) and checked out the 
appropriate tag/branch to build on my Ubuntu 18.04 box.

Based on the 3.3-2+b2, I am presuming that Dmitry used the second commit 
after the 3.3 tag as his code.  At least if I interpret John's 
explanation correctly.
