Yes, this is completely out-of-date and should be finally updated.

As others pointed out, new upstream repos for Debian and Ubuntu are 
available at

https://pkg.labs.nic.cz/doc/?project=bird

Also note that:

* Debian unstable contains latest bird2, currently 2.15.1
* Debian stable (12 Bookworm) contains patched bird2 2.0.12 - Debian 
stable policy doesn't allow rebase to later versions (for good reasons)

You probably checked bird2, but that was a temporary package, the 
current one in Fedora is just bird (without 2) here:

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/bird/bird/

It's at latest 2.15.1 on all active Fedoras and EPEL >= 8, no external 
repos needed.

They are finally mostly automated after my many efforts, but this isn't 
reflected in the BIRD docs.

I agree.
