[Xastir] So, a question on all this building...

I've got an idea... What about creating a PPA for Xastir on Launchpad.net?

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA

This would allow the Xastir team to publish updated packages more
often than the Ubuntu package maintainers. Users would just need to
add the line for this custom repository to their sources.list (can be
done completely from the GUI, System -> Administration -> Software
Sources). Then apt-get install xastir would install the latest xastir
from this custom repo, along with dependencies. Updates could be done
with apt-get update; apt-get upgrade.
