he has done so ;-)
I'm planning to upload to Debian probably this afternoon (since I'm off and
busy tomorrow)
the sync with Jaunty has to happen before the next friday, and everything
discussed at FossCamp / UDS (see my thread about that) is in line with that
(pwrkap and powerman have already been approved ; only nut 2.4 is missing)

now, I've not planned to update the MGE repository for now, and I don't
think my Ubuntu friends will backport 2.4 to intrepid and olders.

so the path forward for you will be a jaunty upgrade when available...

that said, there is nothing new on the SOLA front.
so have a look at the NEWS file (also linked in my announce mail) and check
if you have some need.
if you're running intrepid x86, I can send some packages though...
