David, 1.3 series might not ever reach Debian proper for all I know. It's a developmental series, which has not yet reached the stability of 1.2.x branch. Until it does I don't see a point in switching the version of the main Debian scribus package. Anyone is welcome to try to persuade me that it's not a good idea, of course. Please use scribus-cvs 1.3.x package from the upstream archive that I maintain on scribus.net. It can be installed in parallel with scribus as it goes into /usr/local hierarchy. You will get all the benefits of Debian package management such as automatic upgrades and clean removes and purges and no drawbacks that I would know of. I routinely use either 1.2.x (scribus) or 1.3.x (scribus-cvs) depending on how critical it is that I don't loose my work and what features I need and I haven't had any problems, yet. It also doesn't matter what branch of Debian or even Ubuntu you track as I build i386 packages for all of them. Take a look at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Scribus_on_Debian_GNU/Linux for more information. Regards, Alex.
