One good reason to bring Debian up to date. ;-)

I personally have no idea how to work with PPAs (please excuse my
ignorance I'm pure Debian based and did not found time to dive into
PPAs).  However, I think it would be a good idea to avoid "unstable" as
target distribution for a PPA upload.  Either oneiric resp. precise
should be injected here or something like "unstable-ppa" could fix the
confusion.

... or "ubuntugis-unstable" could be a proper target distribution.

Yes.

It would be great if you could fix this also for osgearth.

Thanks for the clarification
