Hi

We have bird2 packages at https://bird.network.cz/debian/ for Buster (10)
and Stretch (9). We do not have bird2 packages for Jessie (8) as it is
already EOL.

There are no bird2 packages in Debian Stable just because we did not
manage to make them before Debian Stable freeze.

Well, bird1 is currently more 'legacy', it will get important bugfixes,
but probably no new features. I already use bird2 in production, and we
nudge big users to switch to bird2.
