Right, why didn't I think of that? :) LGPL sourced object code can of course be
linked into a GPL sourced binary.

Great news. Thanks for the quick reply!

Here is the release schedule:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule
The package will need to be uploaded before the "FeatureFreeze" which is on
August 12th.
It would be best if it were ready for upload by July 29th, as that way it would be
included in Alpha3.
Hopefully also we can get it uploaded to Debian ASAP so that both
distributions benefit. Maybe your mentor can sponsor its upload?
