Relaying some great news from Felipe Sateler, on debian csound packaging.
Felipe has been working hard to create an official debian package for Csound
and it seems like he succeeded. 
=========================================================
So, it's official now. I have just received the ACCEPTED mail from the
ftpmasters, which means that csound should be available in your local debian
mirror real soon now (ie, as soon as it gets autobuilt and the mirrors
synched).
 
Ubuntu will follow soon too.
