Comment 3 for bug 540941

I have sent a note to the UbuntuGIS list, which offer this package in their ppa.launchpad repo.
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS

maybe someone there can contribute some advice.

I don't think it is relevant, but fyi I've recently got the 1.5dev-svn version of qgis to build on Debian/Lenny, some notes here: http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2411

thanks,
Hamish
