I doubt there'll be one; not from Debian itself, at least - the
licence is, as you noted, Affero GPL, which Debian do not consider
free (because the additional terms beyond those required by the
'regular' GPL fall into what Debian consider to be restrictions on the
mere use of the software).

I personally assume that their decision to relicence was motivated by
the progress in the OpenChange project, which seems likely to leapfrog
them shortly.
