Debian is a bit problematic. The arm[el] float/double/qreal debacle has
reared its ugly head again. I can't get scribus updated to 1.4 until it
builds on armel. Once that's done and scribus transitioned to 1.4 for
few weeks -ng could be changed to 1.5.0 with a big warning in the NEWS
that the package manager should show to the users.
