Feedback from a-l-e is that the exporter has a long way to go, and not
to expect it before the 1.5.0 branch becomes official.

It's worth having a look at Sigil, which is quite easy to use (not so
bad a learning curve), so that you might consider taking the raw
materials from your Scribus document and starting afresh.

My hunch is that even when we might have a functioning ePub exporter,
there is likely to be a need to tweak it with something like Sigil.
