Ok cool

I've set up virtual machine and tested it in Kubuntu 8.04.2 (see
comments in the end)

I did test it in the "ubuntu" flavor. Not kubuntu (at that time I was
still using ubuntu)

well it tried to install half of gnome =) something that most Kubuntu
users try to avoid.

Crosswire-ppa package added dependency on apt-url which gives this
cool UI to install via URL links in firefox. But it uses GTK/Gnore
libs and works only in firefox....

I've decided to remove apt-url from dependencies (apt-url should be
installed on Ubuntu machines it's in the default installation) and it
shouldn't be necessary. The main objective is to have easy way to
install keys and apt-url are secondary.

It should be building in the ppa now and I'll change the description now.
