You could join the choir asking for an official release ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace#73

It seems libbacktrace source is included with gcc releases. By the looks of it, it'll probably be the closest we're gonna get to a versioned release for the foreseeable future.

I actually had a crack at packaging this a few years ago. Take a look at eabbcca

If there's appetite for it, I'd be happy to put forward a fresh PR.
