I think I read somewhere debian does security backport, hence the old version numbers. You probably know this already.
I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie)
Yep, that is a fine and reasonable version to run. It's old, sure, but it should still be safe and useful. Our fine deb maintainer keeps it patched with the more important security updates.
I haven't been able to upgrade from Tor 0.2.7.5, which ARM tells me in red type is "unrecommended," which seems alarming. I'm running 3.2.0-121-generic-pae GNU/Linux on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise).
