The "official" debian packages for GRASS 6.2.0 are done by the DebianGIS
project:  http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org

6.2.0 has just entered the DebianGIS "experimental" package area.
  (this is a work in progress; see the mailing list archives)

To compile 6.2.0 yourself on Debian, see:

In fact the mail lists' spam filters are very good. Some spam gets
through into the bug tracker, but that is left more open to make it as
easy as possible to report a bug.
