The problem is that I have been running KDE 3.x in Debian for sometime off
"unofficial" debs from the Debian KDE maintainers repository.  It would be
nice to see some efforts to have SWORD be current in a similar way.  I
realize perhaps I'm picking nits, but the gnome-sword version was rather
old.

I have been having another Debian developer package and post to his
archive to stay to date current, I believe I filed some bugs against the
original Debian package and never saw them addressed so I figured it might
be unmaintained.  Hopefully we will see new stuff soon. :)
