[IAEP] Sugar packaging in Squeeze, Karmic

[David Van Assche]

For Guadalinex-edu, we are taking jhconvert packages as a base, under
Karmic. These are the most up to date and probably most tested packages
currently available for Ubuntu (courtesy of Aleksey) It would make sense to
bundle these with edubuntu too, at least until the debian packages are
completely up to date.

kind Regards,
David Van Assche
