The Ubuntu Oneiric Alpha 2 release is scheduled for July 7th.  Debian
Import Freeze (after which getting stuff in takes a manual sync) is June
30th.

And someone (Dmitrij?) has to package and test the new Xiphos, after the
Xiphos developers are done developing... so time looks pretty tight.

BTW I see Xiphos just got a "serious" bug in Debian related to failing
to build with Iceweasel 4.0, which I think is possibly related.  See

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631049

I just now asked that a new Bibletime package of 2.8.1 be accepted into
Debian unstable to close a build issue for it, incidentally.
