They're listed in one of my previous comments.

The problem is, even though they are (mostly) packaged in my branches, the problems that lead to their original removal need to be addressed. I can't find the original Debian bug reports that discussed all the issues, but basically, if I remember correctly, some of the dependencies were buggy and so Debian considered it necessary to remove them (if someone can find the relevant threads or bugs, it would be helpful to post them). I don't think that has changed in the intervening years. Now I suppose Ubuntu can ignore Debian and package them anyway, but that's probably not a smart move. We could also not packaged them separately from ArgoUML, and instead just bundle the sources together and build them all as one package. That way, nothing else relies on buggy packages. I believe this is done in other instances, but someone from MOTU really needs to be deciding the best way to proceed.

Also, MOF license still hasn't been sorted out.
