Yes, but my suggestion is it shouldnt be :-)
The default for a betaversion should be that it has another name, as it 
is with the3 debian-packages. As is it is a bit confusing because two 
different standards are applied. Just my two cent :-)

Yes, i know. Even better would be a link scribus-ng that opens the right 
program. With your solution I would not be able to start scribus 1.2.5 
from the commandline, and I suppose when someone takes his/her time to 
install both it has its reason and both should be enabled on the 
commandline as default, not as a tweak. I suppose this cpuld be changed 
just by changing a word (or two) in some configuration files in cvs?

Well, if its just me, then dont mind, but I doubt it :-)
