nautilus 1.0 is in unstable, at least on x86, but thats a buildd issue
if it hasn't built for powerpc yet.  

the main problem with nautilus is that debian does not have any
mozilla packages in the distribution (M18 doesn't count).  

and that unfortunatly seems unlikely to be fixed in the forseeable
future.  the maintainer won't just move it to non-US, and can't upload
crypto to US-main.  removing the crypto would be totally lame and
retarded....  that leaves debian changing policy to allow crypto in
US-main which seems to be allowed by US export policy now.  debian
however wants a lawyers opinion first. so until someone hires, or finds
a lawyer to volunteer an opinion woody will ship with mozilla M18.
