development slowed for a number of reasons, including [...] VA Software's unfulfilled promise of a GPLed alexandria 2.7 release (announced for August 2002 release, but then silently dropped).
For the sake of completion: this promise followed the promise or a GPLed "Sourceforge Open Edition 3.0", which was announced for the summer of 2001 and silently dropped too.
Future releases of Debian's package will be GForge-based
Well, sort of. We (Debian-SF + Gforge people) are indeed currently merging the Debian-SF work into Gforge, and we'll try to merge some things back, but there's no clear "switching" planned. We currently have two packages that can run in parallel. And for the sake of adding links: Debian-SF development is currently hosted on Savannah, here.
