Precisely. I attempted to package 2.6 and could not figure out the way
it has been previously packaged for Debian/Ubuntu. There are four
distinct upstream packages, and we only have one (combined) package with
a different layout than the upstream tarballs.

Would this be a good time to break the abiword-* packages out into
separate source packages, one per each upstream package?
