Yes with debs and rpms + sources tarball as well for other systems. The
project page is on 2ndQ website (
http://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/pglogical/ ) at the moment, not sure
if that's issue for community. The absolutely bare bones download page
is at http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/pglogical/ .

Well afaik the the issues reported on -hackers are fixed in 1.1 which
was released last week (unless I missed some). So in terms of extension
it should be fine.

Sure, there are people testing it for production usage, the regression
tests have about 96% function coverage, etc. The 1.1 tarball builds fine
with current head so will work with beta1 as well I assume.
Is there any interest in us making packages for beta1? (We have packages
for 9.4 and 9.5 so far)
