Acknowledged. I justed wanted to make sure you knew that there is a
ready-to-go package (slightly older) available in testing/non-free.

I think this means that the binaries in the tarballs have been compiled
for the Sarge versions of certain libraries and do not work with the
newer versions of those libraries on Etch. You might have to compile
from source yourself if you want the latest xaralx release to run on
Etch. I assume you noticed the remark on the webpage regarding
libstdc++5 compatibility; maybe the necessary package is not installed
by default on a standard Etch system.
