Great, thanks. This may only be on the 64bit platform, as I did the same update this morning on a Karmic 32bit system, and the MRSID still works.
Originally I installed karmic 64bit, then updated all. Then I added the qgis/stable and ubuntugis/unstable, and wound up with a qgis installation that wouldnt work with mr sid. (the gdal1.5.0 issue perhaps?) When I took out the qgis/stable, and only used ubuntugis/unstable, I did get a qgis that could use SIDs. It looks like last night there was an update to the ubuntugis? and when i updated/upgraded, then the mrsid didnt work on Karmic 64bit. Interestingly, I upgraded on Karmic qgis and grass (same versions though?) this morning also on karmic 32bit, and mrsid still worked.
