Yeah, that's not a problem.

Yes, into Debian.  Ubuntu slurps Debian packages into their "universe"
soon after release.  So the Karmic universe is already well-established
by now, and they'll only update packages if they are core to their
release plans -- which pysparse almost certainly is not.

Indeed, that was my original motivation for packaging PySparse. :-)

I'll revisit that after packaging the new PySparse release.
