Sugar 0.81 was an unstable development branch leading to the 0.82 stable release series, which had multiple point releases of most Sugar components. The best version to package is the latest 0.82.x release of each component, as found at http://dev.laptop.org/pub/sugar/sources/. Since an additional repository would have to be used to get this on lenny, it's probably best to not ship Sugar 0.81 at all unless you can get an exception to get 0.82.x included. There would be frustration for those who try to use Sugar out of the box without upgrading to 0.82.
