VTP? That'd be great to have it packaged for Debian!

There is Gdal 1.3.1 in Debian testing:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=gdal&searchon=names&subword=1&version=testing&release=all

As to Ubuntu, for incoming Dapper still only 1.2.6 is available. I
can't say if the Debian testing 1.3.1 would work on Ubuntu/other
Debian derivatives. Anybody?
