There is no official place that I know of. We're talking with some folks at Debian to get this fixed. For now, I think it's highly likely that the Ubuntu PPA packages would work on Debian. You might have to rebuild them as they may have pulled in some deps that are not required but included in Hardy.

Ted,
I somewhat know what the OP is going through. I too had to wait (because we are an impatient bunch) until somebody built a package (rpm) for openSUSE 10.3 before I could enjoy the latest release if Inkscape. Of course I was able to get Inkscape 0.46 right away on my Ubuntu installs, unfortunately, Ubuntu isn't my primary desktop distro (although that may change soon).
My problem was that I didn't know who to contact regarding making a package specific to my distribution. Within the Inkscape development community, are there point people from other distributions that you guys contact for this sort of thing? I think we can almost guarantee Ubuntu packages will be built right away but what about the openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, and Debian crowd, just to name a few? Perhaps this is why the autopackages are built?
This is something that I have always been curious about.
