Well, it is in the "sid" repositories, aka "unstable".  One option is
to just pull john from there, but don't upgrade your entire system!!!
Perhaps some other Debian expert here has a cool solution that won't
munge your system.  I will wait for them to post, and if it is not as
elegant as my solution, I will repost :-)
