There are not updates to stable except for security and other very good
reasons. Even for regular bugfixes there wouldn't be updates for enigma
on stable.
Thats part of the very nature of Debian stable.
So basically the next hard deadline we have is the earliest in
december...

Well, the package is only in unstable for now. I can file a bug to
prevent it from entering testing; we don't have to care as much for
upgrade paths in unstable.

Which should be fine, shouldn't it?
And this way you get some additional testing for the current svn
versions. ;-)
