[Ubuntu] new packages

[Alan Boudreault]

Guys,

For your information, the ubuntugis-testing PPA has ubuntugis-unstable 
as a dependencies. I've always used the testing ppa to put custom 
version of a softwares. So a user have to add both repositories to get 
everything working. Since there is not many packages in testing... I 
think someone can easily setup the testing ppa, install the new 
software... and remove/downgrade the packages if they want.

Would be cool if someone could document this in the wiki. Let me know if 
you need any permissions.

Thanks,
Alan
