Nick,

Would you be so kind to make your question more specific? If you ask if there
are packages for ubuntu then the answer is yes. Read http://debian.scribus.net
for a list, but shortly I have scribus-ng packages for Dapper and Edgy in our
repositories (and will for Eft when it's released or somebody tells me that
it's different enough from Edgy that Edgy package doesn't work anymore). I
dropped the Breezy package around 1.3.3.7 release as it didn't have recent
cmake and I wasn't keen on searching for a backport, but if there is a
specific request like it happened with Sarge I will put in the effort.

Is the above close to answering what you were asking?

Cheers,

Alex.
