The story with plank is a bit weird ...

The last release was in 2019, and elementary OS forked it some years
later, because upstream development was pretty much dead.
At that point, I was a (co-)maintainer of the plank package, and
switched the package to build from the elementary fork, because it had
fixes and support for some new stuff.

However, elementary has been developing their own dock from scratch
(with eyes on eventual Wayland support), and the plank project on
launchpad actually looks more active again :|
So maybe the package should be switched back to the original upstream
when / if the new elementary Dock is ready (it's not yet) ...
