Comment 5 for bug 188110

wontfix doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Currently there are virtually no packages coming directly into Ubuntu. They are almost all going into Debian where there is a dedicated maintainer first. It's unlikely in the extreme that any Ubuntu developer would upload this to the official archive. Upstream provides a Debian style package people who are interested can use. If you're interested in the package, you can always provide it via a PPA.
