Hi Fabrizio, I maintain a PPA with debian/ubuntu packages built any day that there are changes in the testing tree. (My terminology may not be 100% correct.)
I can talk with the current package maintainer and see about updating this more often, especially before the freeze before a new Ubuntu release, which is every 6 months. I am not sure what is the norm for packages, but I think it would be reasonable to update the Ubuntu/Debian trees every month or two, especially given the rate of progress. I can look into this over the next week. (If this was double posted, I apologize. I sent this from an email address not subscribed to the list a few hours ago.)
