Debian unstable ("sid") and the upcoming release ('bookworm", current "testing") both have NUT 2.8.0 (the 7th build of it), see https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nut.html for details and download links. I didn't find any suitable ready-made backport, so I did a "naive" backport myself - to Buster and Bullseye for amd64 and arm64. I.e. only added a "2.8.0-7~" entry to debian/changelog and packaged that, without any further changes. See dpkg-buildpackage(1) (Why a backport? Because the "real" 2.8.0-7 is supposed to overwrite the derived package set when upgrading to Bookworm. You're not supposed to use "sid" or "testing" packages on an older system though.)
