1.6.8 will be uploaded shortly. However, if you can manage to build
[future] .debs for woody, that would be nice.

[Make sure you have the necessary development packages:
# apt-get install binutils cpp gcc libc6-dev g++ \
libstdc++2.10-dev python libguile-dev tetex-bin \
libkpathsea-dev tetex-extra flex bison texinfo groff gs \
netpbm m4 gettext gpg fakeroot mftrace devscripts
hope that's correct for woody]
Then unpack, and build it:
$ tar xzf lilypond-1.6.8.tar.gz
$ cd lilypond-1.6.8
... edit debian/changelog, adding new release entry ...
$ debuild -r fakeroot

Yes, make sure to sign your package (debuild will ask you).
