I've been conversing with Kamal KA6MAL lately regarding the Xastir PPA
version on the Ubuntu Hams IRC channel.  One of the Debian guys
themselves is packaging up our development tarball of 1.9.9 from
August 1st, which is in the pipeline for Debian (I think it was done
in time to get into Squeeze).  Kamal is maintaining his PPA for the
time being, but upon discussions between he and I, as soon as I can
get my mind around how to make debian packages, I'm going to take that
over from him.  My ultimate goal is to have my own Xastir PPA updated
every 2 weeks (or maybe faster, if something important goes in).
