We can have Ubuntu use whatever we want afaik. We just need to package
it. Routinely they get the package from Debian but Ben hasn't packaged
0.9.18 yet and they've just stopped syncing from Debian for this
release.

We'll have to package tuxpaint ourselves regardless and make a case for
it (should be easy as it's in main). 

My concern is making a package that doesn't have a fix for the >127
fonts bug, and whether this is worse or better than leaving it at
0.9.17.

I don't know how to make a tuxpaint-devel package. If someone does it
I'm sure we can argue for it to be included.
