I'm not so sure about that.
I know Debain can be slow in getting software into their repositories
but earlier this month I pointed out on these lists that Scribus 1.4.1
wasn't in the Debian repositories.

A few days later it appeared in the repositories. I can't remember the
exact details of what happened but I know I thanked Alex who normally
updates the repositories.

I can wait but those who read the Scribus's Debian wiki page are being
misinformed.

Also I'm not sure whether:

http://debian.scribus.net/debian/
or
http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/

are actually Debian repositories or Scribus's own. Anyone know?
