Cool, I think I can use some help :-). I'm not sure how to add two maintainers
to a project, but we can figure it out later.

Yes, when I wrote that either there wasn't a alpha 2, or I did a poor job
looking at the site :P. Anyway, I'm trying to compile alpha 2 now, which can be
found at:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/tags/blender-2.52-release/
you probably know that already.
I'll have more time to work on this package on the weekend, for now I've played
with it enough to see that I'll need to figure out about Collada. Right now
blender is failing to compile due to missing collada headers.
Collada seems to be needed in order to export blender projects to a XML format.
It's possible to compile blender without it, but I think it would be much better
to support it. Unfortunately I don't see collada (or opencollada) in debian's
repository. Do you know anything about this issue?
Regards,
Rafael
