Debian didn't package FC 0.15 because of these unmet dependencies:
https://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=freecad

I was looking for a package maintener email to ask about this and ran into
that page. Debian users should sit and wait or get hands on the code to
make it work. I guess FreeCAD should have a more strict dependency check.

Thanks Maurice for all your support, I'll use your tools a lot :)
