Where did you get JAGS from?  Can you download the source to the Debian
package?

We are current there as I upgraded the Debian package to 2.1.0 --- and
whenever I need more-current-than-in-Ubuntu packages from Debian, I get the
sources and rebuild the Debian package locally on my Ubuntu machine (and
stick it into a local repository etc pp which more than you'd need)
