Hi Andrew,

lt/0.14.2 is already packaged, actually sitting in the NEW queue[0], and I just
have to wait for it to be accepted by ftp-masters.

I don't know how much time it'll take to get out of NEW... maybe it'll bee too
late for Ubuntu sync. In any case, the source package is available at
mentors[1], in case you want (can?) do an upload for Ubuntu.

Anyway, it will be built against python 2.5, which is the current release in
Debian (python 2.6 is in NEW for experimental).

Please tell me if there is anything I can do.
