I just checked and found that gEDA has been put in unstable again, but
current release is 1.9.4 - so I will live with source compiled version.

By the way, the only part I really lack from repos installation is
xgsch2pcb, but I reckon that the porting from pyGtk to pythonGi is not
trivial, so I will go back to gsch2pcb.

Ok, I rebuilt everything with $PREFIX=/usr/local, but some of my
Debian-purity mates will blame me for this :-)
