That timing is a bit unfortunate for Ubuntu users, because
DebianImportFreeze[0] for Ubuntu's next release (Gutsy Gibbon, 7.10) is
scheduled for June 21[1].
So, Ubuntu users: Don't expect these packages to appear in Ubuntu 7.10
automatically. Nevertheless, we should find out, whether it is possible,
to do a delayed sync for 7.10, once the packages are in unstable. I am
CC'ing the ubuntu science team, who should know about this.
Christian: If not, is it possible to keep your debian-root repository
running til April 2008, when Ubuntu should also have native ROOT packages
synced from Debian?

Very nice indeed!
