[DebianGIS] New qgis version in debian?

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Hi

How is the work with a new debian package for qgis going?  I notice
you tagged the RC bug #351409 pending 2006-02-23, and was wondering if
you ran into problems with it and need help?

I believe the broken qgis package is part of the reason the netcdf
package cluster fail to enter testing, and hope we can find a solution
to the problem soon.

qgis is as you probably know uninstallable in unstable at the moment.
