It's in the postgis package on ubuntugis Built packages liblwgeom-2.0.3 PostGIS "Lightweight Geometry" library liblwgeom-dev PostGIS "Lightweight Geometry" library - Development files libpostgis-java Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL -- JDBC support postgis Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL postgis-doc Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL -- documentation postgis-gui Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.0 Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL 9.1 postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.0-scripts Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL 9.1 -- scripts Ya I'd like to pass that tip on to whoever manages the package, looks like Jerome is a candidate to figure it out.
