I'd like to have the new AbiWord in Debian, but still doubt the direct
sync from Ubuntu.

Note that the Ubuntu package has dropped abiword-gnome functionality and
only provides a single abiword variant equivalent to the previous
abiword-gtk, minus scripting capability. It seems like a minimal build.
(Note that goffice integration is also disabled.)

Another issue to consider is that it repacks upstream separate tarballs
into one. This may be convenient for package building, and the separate
tarballs are always released at the same time BTW. I just wonder if
Debian source should be split accordingly.

Please at least consider the former issue when taking it from Ubuntu.

Thanks,
