Hi Michael -

Ok - I've updated the PPA with versions of the package for Karmic and Lucid.
I've also uploaded the package to REVU. Our friend Mako Hill who is active
in the Ubuntu community is ready to give it the thumbs up - it looks like we
need approval from another MOTU. So if you know anyone, please ask them to
give it a look.

Here is the package on REVU:

Thanks,
Amos
