scribus 1.5.0 is considered "unstable" by upstream, while the 1.4.x is the stable branch, and that one is actually up-to-date.

I was instead pondering about resurrecting the scribus-ng package and uploading 1.5.0 as that package, and let the two being co-installable.

Furthermore, consider that files saved with 1.5.0 are not granted to be usable with 1.4.x.

Whatever happens, I don't consider uploading 1.5.0.

reusing the scribus-ng package would be a good idea, since this is, what it once was intended for.

However, the name scribus-ng is somewhat misleading, maybe rename it to scribus-unstable.
