There was a team of people working on Sugar on Ubuntu, but they didn't
had the needed resources and stalled before the 9.04 release. I don't
know if getting something packaged for Ubuntu is very hard but Aleksey
has packaged Sugar 0.84 for several distros by himself:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Packaging

Could you update that table with your opinion on the Ubuntu status?

By that table, all distros except Arch Linux and maybe Debian are
working, but maybe we need people to actually try them out and update
the Status column?

It's also frustrating for me that my work is not available in such a
popular distro as Ubuntu, but work won't get done until someone rolls
up her/his sleeves.
