Sorry, but this is _debian_ gis, not _ubuntu_ gis. I think currently
it's quite difficult having binary compatibility on many packages
among the two distros. We have occasional problems due to various
transitions in sid also. The best thing we can do is continuing
the development for sid (and etch) and backporting important
packages to sarge (or whatever debian-based). Personally, I'm
doing best efforts to maintain back-compatibility whenever
possible and the same for other people.
