Ubuntu syncs from Debian during every development cycle, so if it's in
debian we get it in Ubuntu with no extra work.

The mail you reference doesn't give all the details but I think I
remember the issue - building from source: Debian considers packages
that can't "build from source" to be non-free.

Thanks for the reminder of this issue - I'll take it up on the edubuntu list.
