Yep, we uploaded the .debs yesterday evening so not all info is
up-to-date yet elsewhere :) Some of the devs, like me, have done viewer
dev mostly on Linux since last February or so, so it's quite mature, and
we have a buildbot that verifies linux compile after every commit .. but
didn't get around to do release packages untill Jonne managed this week.
Glad you noticed, and please do report if you'll try - this is all still
pretty early stuff.
