Summary0009309: only offer scribus stable for debian stable
Descriptioni guess that we should not offer our own packages for scribus-ng for debian stable. short after the release some libraries are too old for updating and the people are deceived by not being able to get the newest scribus.

or, at least, there should be a notice on http://www.scribus.net/?q=debian that the -ng packages may not be the one you would expect...

This is up to malex, as the packager for debian/ubuntu. In that position, he is not acting as a Scribus team member, and in any case, we do not control what the distro packagers do, we just recommend.

warning: this bug report is not about the -ng packages delivered through the debian mirrors, but about the ones directly distributed by the scribus team through their own repository!

this bug is mainly about fixing the documentation on http://www.scribus.net/?q=debian to warn debian stable and ubuntu LTE users that they probably should not use the -ng versions of scribus.

but it is also about avoiding distributing updates to the -ng packages through the scribus own repositories for debian stable and ubuntu LTE.

this has nothing to do with the packages available in debian own repositories. (even if i wonder if -ng should be packaged there, either)

1.3.9 will not be released for Debian Stable at least until Squeeze with Qt 4.6 comes out.

it's not resolved, just ignored... we will have the same problem as we had last year as soon as 1.5.3 is out with new dependencies...
