It's available in the normal master ppa. However, a small change needed
to be made to make it work on Tav's computer. I think it hasn't been
committed yet.

Further testing seems to be required, though, according to the comments,
so as soon as that above-mentioned small change is in Inkscape master
and available from the ppa, your help will still be good to have!

I hope I'll notice when it gets added, so I can inform you (if Thomas
beats me to it, I would be glad, though :) )
