gnomesword is in universe, which is being community maintained. Afaik, backporting means to take a package from the developing version and to build it on a stable version, so, building a .deb from scratch and put it to Edgy would not work (Edgy is frozen).
A first step is to try to get sword backported to Edgy. When the Feisty gnomesword builds on Edgy then, a backport *should* be possible. -- [UNMETDEPS] gnomesword has unmet dependencies https://launchpad.net/bugs/65451 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
