Hi. I've been using ocropus for at least 2 years. I built the first release from source, but have used Debian packages ever since. Not sure why it isn't part of Lenny, but it is definitely part of Sid.

The OCRopus engine is based on two research projects: a high-performance handwriting recognizer developed in the mid-90's and deployed by the US Census bureau, and novel high-performance layout analysis methods. . OCRopus development is sponsored by Google and is initially intended for high-throughput, high-volume document conversion efforts. It will also be an excellent OCR system for many other applications.
