As far as we know, it is. A quick check reveals that Gentoo, OpenSUSE and 
Fedora carry the 2.7 release as their latest, so they're not aware of a newer 
release either. I'd assume that Debian moved on to a fork without proper 
warnings...

Except that the Changelog shows:

Not the same email address, but the same name as the maintainer of dbus-java 
(now cc'ed).

Matthew, can you clarify? Where is this 2.8 release coming from?
