There is indeed a mistake on the <http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Debian#The_Scribus_Archive> page for describing scribus-ng as Scribus 1.5.x...
scribus-ng was useful during that period while 1.4 was better than 1.3.x but not stable enough to be called stable. But I think the working process is different now so I think scribus-ng should disappear (at least temporarely) from the repositories and the doc. It's a bit strange to have a "new generation" version that's older than the stable one... By the way, if you want prebuild debian packages of the 1.5 version, you can use the ppa : <https://launchpad.net/~scribus/+archive/ppa> where the package is called scribus-trunk.
