The 2018.4 release has been uploaded to Debian unstable. It should also be possible to upload to Stretch-backports in about a week from now, depending on internal processes in Debian.

The release is also available from the LAVA repositories - production-repo

Dropping Python2 ================

2018.4 is the first release exclusively using Python3. Upgrading from releases prior to 2018.2 will bring in a range of Python3 packages. After installation of 2018.4, a number of Python2 packages are available for removal, if administrators desire.

lava-tool still uses Python2 - we are working on lavacli as a Python3 replacement. lavacli has also been updated to 0.8-1 in Debian.
