done.  (3.0 is same as trunk right now, so just duplicate columns...)

1.6.3, although ubuntuGIS (or any external package for that matter) may
quietly upgrade the version on their server to 1.7.0 at some point. you
can probably get them to hold for a few days, but asking them to wait a
month just for us is a bit much. They would have to rebuild their other
packages like qgis and grass to match, so locking =version requires you
do it for all dependent packages as well.

Or they may wait for it to come over from Debian first along the usual
channels, which takes a few weeks longer. (it hasn't been uploaded to debian/unstable yet so no panic)

there was a question about what is Marble: it's a KDE clone of Google
Earth.
