It was some Ubuntu packager who failed to test Sugar for Jaunty as we
would have expected.

Yes, I have done that for several distros.

Yes. I have Sugar working from packages on virtual images of Caixa
Mágica and Fedora. I have seen it run in Debian and Ubuntu Intrepid.
See

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Supported_systems#Sucrose

for links about various distros with instructions, bug notes, and
contact information.
