No, I mean the official repository (just pointing out that Elaine got
this "only 1.2.x" wrong).

(Actually, this "dfsg" in the version string means that this is a
recompiled Debian package that has something from upstream excluded--is
there anything non-free in the Scribus source tarball?)

Why don't you create official packages & backports for Ubuntu
instead?  ;-)
That would make things easier for most Ubuntu users...


BTW: I think that at least some of the bugs that caused problems for
Scribus in Ubuntu are fixed in Feisty (but I'm not 100% sure as I have
no "virgin install" to test on right now).  Feisty also includes the
'Polymer' Qt skin, so now Scribus doesn't have to look like a Win95
application (or worse).
