Jonas, I'm rather unskilled at packaging myself. However, somebody's got to do it, and when I made noise about it nobody else stepped up. Ubuntu has a feature freeze in 8 days. We'll do what we can. No, we'll do what we have to. BTW if you have any comments on the packaging of abiword or pyabiword, please speak up - here, or the debian or ubuntu lists. If possible, I'd like to fix this in a way that we can sync back with you after lenny releases...
