    Default update xaralx / PS / debian

    Yesterday I was able to install the latest stable debian release
    (Etch)_ my xaralx / PS comments having previously been based
    on use of the Sarge release.

    The wonderful news is - PostScript exported from xaralx is now
    directly importable to Scribus in debian... no more EPS dependency
    or conversion problems, of which there had been many (it was
    almost a year before I found all the libraries needed for the EPS
    version of this same trick)... direct export of a finished *.xar file
    (as PS, via print)... and then, just plugging this into a Scribus
    document.

    It is so much easier, now, to put finished XaraLX renderings to
    use, quickly and directly - thus, I felt this post was completely
    justifiable here.

    michaelbuddy - Hi. Yes, it is extremely cool. As I tried to indicate,
    this is something Ive been struggling with for more than a year, so
    it is extra cool for me(!)... however, I do not mean to suggest that
    this improvment resulted, specifically, from any cooperative work
    between XaraLX and Scribus...
    ...rather, Scribus has simply been fixed in the new (stable) debian
    to support direct PostScript import... in fact, XaraLX has been able
    to output PS for quite a while - we just couldnt use it without a lot
    of extra work.
