Cool, let me know if you need help with that.
The packaging is here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ted-gould/lib2geom/ubuntu-packaging
I've got the basic "it builds" now I need to fix all of the descriptions and such and figure out the dependencies. Patches or merge requests welcome :) We can move ownership to a group also.

Wasnt half the point of having it in our tree that we're using bleeding edge SVN 2geom with our guys making fairly regular changes? Why screw around with whats working? Plus what does this do to non linux builds? Can we please think about this properly before we break the build/make life harder for people to fix bugs.
Cheers
