Thinking about release intervals, Debian is way slower compared to mediawiki - thus Debian's packages for mediawiki become outdated with very high probability. Is there a chance to see debian packages built by mediawiki some day soon?
The MediaWiki LTS cycle actually lines up pretty closely with the Debian release cycle.
I'm currently working on getting an updated version of MediaWiki into Debian, see the ITP[1] and my email to the mediawiki-distributors mailing list[2]. The package still needs to be reviewed by the Debian FTP masters and might take a while. In the meantime, you can try out the debs from [3] if you'd like to help test :)
