Well, that better explains the 'orphaned' status on LaunchPad.  Like I said, 
I am new to Linux packaging.  Is this status from a lack of interest in a 
Debian / Ubuntu package or a deeper technical reason?  When you talk about 
maintenance of a package, can the  maintenance responsibilities be broken 
down between the actual code and packaging responsibilities?

If cuneiform is compiled and installed and a package is created with the 
ImageMagick++ libraries present, what will happen if someone installs it on 
another computer without the libraries?  Does it fall back to the standard 
behavior?
